I assume you are talking about the brush+regulator assembly that fits
in one end-housing of the Bosch alternator...  right?


Is your problem that the brushes are worn down below the Bentley
limit??


If the answers are yes and yes...... check www.carparts.com and order
new brushes for ~$5; get a friend who knows how to solder to help you
install them.  I made a small wooden jig that makes this easy.


Alternatively [no pun intended] you can buy the brush+regulator
assembly from any Bosch dealer, who will need some numbers from your
alternator.  The 'rebuilders' sometimes play mix/match and you may or
may not have the right part in there now, if you are dealing with an
alternator that already has been rebuilt.  The new, authentic Bosch
part is nicely crafted and assembled with evident professionalism
[mine came from Spain].

Where can someone buy a new brushbox for a 81 vanagon??  My flaps does
not
have, RMMW does not have, and the number of the Bosch 90v alternator
must
have changed over the years.  Any sugg?
