the chromer wanted the case halves completly gutted. Even the studs (3rd pic) had to be removed.

BTW, my 2002 factory alternator has the one-way clutch pulley; and was a ***** to remove.

I've been told that only the A4 models (from 2001 and newer) had the one way clutch pulley.

Yea I have, I bought just the casing(s) chromed and it was like $275-$300, then I paid local alt. shop to do the swap out for me, that was another $45 to swap.... Nice addition and good price. Looks great.
