Yes, it is up to the individual A&P to do it, then it is up to the individual AI at annual time, then it is up to the individual FSDO if they get involved and it is up to the individual insurance company if there is a claim.

If anyone had attended one of Mike Busch "Savvy Aviator" seminars
http://www.savvyaviator.com/
or reads the articles on his website, you may have learned the following:
You A&P can legally have your alternator/generator repaired anywhere he sees fit, including the local automotive repair shop, then reinstall it in your aircraft, as long as he is comfortable signing off that it was repaired "under his supervision". This does not mean he has to do the work or even be there when the work is done...only that he has "supervised" the work and is comfortable with what was done.
Some mechanics may not be comfortable with the work done at the auto shop and not agree to this repair. That is up to the individual mechanic.

Eliacim,
When my generator failed, soon after I first got my Coupe, I was given advice that seemed useful. I was advised to take the generator and regulator to a generator shop and have them checkout, fix and set them to work together. They told me to always get those worked on as a matched pair.
Some A&Ps will only send your aircraft parts to an official aircraft generator shop (all A&Ps?). Some generator shops will not touch an aircraft part if they know it’s an aircraft part. Our generators are the same model as was used on tractors in the 1930s and on lots of other motorized vehicles throughout the ‘30s, ‘40s, etc. Your local generator shop may not even blink at seeing your “tractor” generator. They also should be well equipped to handle low-tech generators like this.
The cost at the local generator shop is way low compared to aviation shops.
Let’s see what the A&P and AI list members advise.

I have been tracking and isolating my electrical problems, previously discussed in this forum.
Would anybody be willing to part with a WORKING Delco Remy 1101876 generator, (perhaps leftover from an alternator conversion)?
If so, please contact me off the forum, at
