xclimation queried do they still sell rebuild kits for alternators i blieve you can still find brushes bearings etc. at most parts stores though i usually just go to a rebuilder directly. of course a new set of brushes riding on worn slip rings or commutator is not unlike putting new shoes/pads on old drums/rotors -- it works *much better* if you turn the drum/rotor. if you dont have a lathe for that and the slip rings or commutator isnt too gawdawful chucking it up in a drill press on low speed and using a flat file on it works fairly well. just keep the fingers clear of the rotating assembly! bryan .
