Any body know where i can get a set of alternator brushes from , non of the usual parts suppliers seem to list them any more.
If you've got a type 1 engine, they're an integral part of the regulator assembly. Never seen them sold separately (but I haven't really looked).
White plate with three prongs that screwed onto the top of the alternator (three screws ), the brushes are on the underside . Lift the whole thing out and bob the new one back in , takes seconds to change , but cant find a replacement set anywere.
@the bugcatcher , Try gsf Phil theres one near me, are these what you need http://www.veewee.co.uk/index.php/parts/engine/generators-alternators-assoc/904vg0030
They are the wrong ones mate, these ones are part of the the small cover plate that the alternator loom plugs into,
Cheers , its surprising how far the van will run just on the battery, there is a motor rewind / auto electrical type place in castleford, i will call in tomorrow and see if they can come up with owt.
I assume you've got an external regulator? Internal reg, the brushes are all part of the assembly. edit: tried a Bosch dealer?
NO , Not the right ones but nice try anyway , called at a bosch auto electrical place and they are no longer listed in the bosch parts catalogue , but they still have the brushes on there own without the carrier , so picked up a set for £2.71 and soldered them in ,as good as new . Thanks !
