They've probably copied a bilstein design for rally or similar, adjusters at the top mean they're sprung weight.
these tiny alternators are usually from kubota engines(or similar), as used in that crappy aixim thing, and also mini diggers, compact tractors etc....

The central cirlce metal insert is removable (for those who didnt know), but refit it and it leaves a huge gap? What do you here, pack it with packing grease/copper slip etc to stop crud ingress?

Yeah I know what it is like lol merely a spacer, but doesnt seem right what so ever thats there a huge ass gap around it :/
Also done some other mundane stuff today.... an bought some more bits this afternoon..... funkaaaaay :)
