Generator, Alternator, and Starter Rebuilding Service:

Generator Services:

• Generator Rebuilding (6V or 12V, Positive or Negative Ground)
• Generator Excitation (getting your generator to actually produce electricity) ** Note Below
• Generator Conversions (replacing your generator with a single wire regulated generator/alternator)
• Generator Replacement (with a one wire alternator)

Alternator Services:

• Alternator Replacement
• Alternator Restoration (looks and function)
• Alternator Upgrades (to a 1 wire)
• Alternator Relocations (if you need to add other power options and must move the alternator)

Starter Services:

• Starter Replacement
• Starter Rebuilding
• Starter Upgrading (to a high torque or gear reduction type)

If you have an antique car and are having difficulty finding a reliable shop to work on your car’s starter, generator, alternator, or for that matter, any part of it, visit the team at DRS FantomWorks and see what service is all about. We are a highly experienced team of automotive craftsmen and artisans that live, eat, breathe and think cars. Please call and get straight talk and honest answers. We work with everyone from auto enthusiasts to folks that don’t know how to open their own hoods. We can work with anyone on almost any budget to build any part of your car to the entire vehicle.

**Note

When DC voltage is applied to the field windings of a generator, current flows through the windings and sets up a steady magnetic field called Field Excitation.

This excitation voltage can be produced by the generator itself or it can be supplied by an outside source, such as a battery. A generator that supplies its own field excitation is called a SELF-EXCITED GENERATOR. Self-excitation is possible only if the field pole pieces have retained a slight amount of permanent magnetism, called RESIDUAL MAGNETISM. When the generator starts rotating, the weak residual magnetism causes a small voltage to be generated in the armature. This small voltage applied to the field coils causes a small field current. Although small, this field current strengthens the magnetic field and allows the armature to generate a higher voltage. The higher voltage increases the field strength, and so on. This process continues until the output voltage reaches the rated output of the generator.
