I have had luck with brushes like this at my local Ace Hardware. If you look in
their magic boxes as I call them, you will find that they have a drawer or
two of small appliance motor brushes.
Just match them up a closely as possible and use a small file to put the
finishing touches on them if
not sure if your 2001 takes the same alt as my '94, but the Bosch
re-manny unit i put in our XJ a couple of years ago puts out
significantly more power than the stock stuff did; we tested it up to
160 Amps on the tester. even with all the lights, defrosters, and wipers
on, there's almost no
Only 300 k? 'Can't depend on anything any more.
