Been wanting to expand my business a bit, and stator keeps coming to mind. I looked up the rewinding process and yea I can do that stuff.
Anyway, onto the questions I have. The stator rewind wire is simple electric motor wire, not hard to source, however, the lead wires from the stator to the connectors that hook to the main harness I'm unsure of what grade of wire that is. I use GXL for my harnesses which is pretty high temp (125C) and oil resistant and such, but the OEM stuff has a fiberglass braid over it. I've found SF2 and SFF2 wire which seems similar, but I don't see where it's oil resistant and such. Any idea what grade of wire that is, or something suitable?
My other question is about the grommets, any place to get them new? If not, then this kind of forces me to jump into the plastic pour molding to make copies.
Besides that, I'm good on the winding process, directions, soldering, coating the finished product, crimping new connectors on the lead wires, etc.
I guess it's worth saying if you have junk stators, I'll take them. Preference is to know what they are from but not really super required once I build up a database of documentation of specs etc.
For now, I'm just looking to do straight OEM rewinding, but making higher output, or higher voltage should be a thing I can handle in time after I build up the experience.
