Subject:WTB: woodruff key
From:Conrad Klahn

Hi,

Anyone out there have a spare woodruff key you would be willing to
throw in an envelope and sell me?

In replacing what I thought was a bad alternator, I find that the
alternator did not have a woodruff key - nor did the replacement I
bought from Bus Depot. All the parts stores (a) don't know what a
woodruff key is, or (b) laugh and say that it should have come with
the alternator. I would go back to BD, but this is the third time
I've ordered a part that was missing pieces, or damaged upon receipt
- they also don't list a separate woodruff key.

This is for an '80 aircooled, but I suppose any bosch alternator
woodruff key would work? If you know of the size of this thing, that
would also help - I bought one from CIP1, but it was too small.

Thanks,
Conrad
