Nastra's rotating electrical remanufacturing process has been consistent since inception. Both alternators and starters receive this process:

- All units are disassembled down to the casing to ensure a thorough cleaning. A steel shot blast is used to properly prepare steel & aluminum surfaces.
- All bearings and bushings are replaced with NEW heavy duty components
- All brush spring tensions are checked and tested to guard against failure
- NEW brushes and terminal insulators are installed
- Only high temperature lubricants are used to ensure free movement under high heat
- All sub assemblies are checked and tested before final assembly
- NEW attaching hardware is installed
- Fans, pulleys and through bolts are zinc plated to enhance appearance and eliminate corrosion.
- All rotors and stators are Hi-Pot tested at 100 volts and thoroughly checked and tested before being cut, polished, balanced and reinsulated.
- All low amp rotors are scrapped and replaced with NEW or rewound components that meet or exceed output demands.
- All clutch pulleys are inspected and tested or replaced with NEW on applications that require a clutch pulley.
- All Ford alternators are built using only the latest OE technology regulators.

- All armatures and field coils are throughly checked and tested before being cut, polished, balanced and reinsulated
- Commutator end plates and through bolts are zinc plated to enhance appearance and eliminate corrosion
- All domestic starter drives are replaced with a 5-roller heavy duty drive to ensure reliability
