Hi, when I assembled my FD alternator I accidentally broke the spring loaded brushes that ride on the barring in the back of the alternator.

Does anyone know if this is a part which can be replaced?
trying to not go the brand new alternator route if I can possible fix the one I have.
Thanks

 

also can anyone identify the brand or part number to this alternator ?

Are the housings interchangeable ?

If I have to, I may buy a reman or new one but I wanna use my polished housing.

 

two places to get brushes and springs, your local hardware store, sometimes, your local garage.

another, google nippondenso brushes
