Where do you find a good auto sparky that will recondition anything. I went to an old school guy up the road and 1st thing he did was open a Valeo catalogue and rub his hands together
Bearings and bushes FFS not $$$ replacement.
I'm sure they are still about but obviously need to hunt them down

What brand is the alternator, post a pic and put the model number of the alternator and also the regulator. Then we be able to help track down some spare parts.
Not near you... but south land electrics should be able to take care of it... they are right next to
Europarts...
They are exy... but part of tri star so should be high quality... know dad and son... business driven...

Looks like you have got it apart and the brushes are worn out.
What do the slip rings look like? Is there a groove where the brushes touch the slip ring?
Can't really see but is there a cover that comes off opposite the brushes so that you can get access to the solder joints.
Here is a YouTube video on how to replace the brushes, if you want to have a crack at it yourself.
You can buy brushes for about $5, the outer bearing for $25, and the inner slip bearing for $25. I refurbished mine this year. It was a Mitsubishi from an s16. All you’ll really need is a soldering gun and maybe a rattle gun (although I managed without) to get the pulley nut off to change the larger bearing. It took me about half a day, and I had no prior knowledge apart from watching that video listed above. Yes, it was a challenge getting the slip bearing, but I found a place in WA. I could probably find the invoice if you wanted it.
Will do when I’m in the workshop again.
How do you upload images in this forum. It always says things are too large, even when they have been compressed?
You need to make sure that the files are under the site limits, which are not very big.
Another way is to use the "insert image" icon or use "Ctrl P"
So the part number for the slip bearing is:
B10-27T12DD (Precision alternator bearing) and I got it from:
HI-ROLL Bearings 44-46 Mills Road Braeside VIC 3195 - hirollbearings.com.au. It cost be $18.15 + $18.70 Overnight courier.

I successfully rebuilt a Mitsubishi today, as per the video above, thanks Mingus. I did use a smaller soldering iron however , lol. I used parts from Ashdown-Ingram, but you could probably get them elsewhere once you know the part numbers.
Front bearing - NSK B17-116DG - Ashdown-Ingram BEX0007
Slip Bearing - B10-27T12DD - Ashdown-Ingram BEX6106
Brushes - Ashdown-Ingram BRX70383 (pack of 10)
Approx. $100 all up. I doubt I'll ever use all those brushes. Let me know if you need a pair.

Yep, give it crack - it's not too hard. Mine is working a treat. Gives 13.8 volts when running as it should.
