Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I tore my alt completely apart to replace the bearings in the alt and clean the rust and crud off the rotor...I found the two slip rings have some pretty deep grooves in them! Are they replaceable and if so were might I get such an item.... Ryan 68 02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 replacement slip rings may be available from a Bosch dealer, but it would probably cheaper just to swap out the rotor from a used alternator. 0ld 02 alternators are readily available. Someone on the forum probably has one they would donate to you. You may want to just put the alternator back together and use the slip rings the way they are. Brushes are pretty soft. What was the output of your alternator before you tore it down? Chris B. '73 ex-Malaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 S&P Auto Electric at 1901 SE 11th rebuilds our crusty old alternators. Bet they would have what you need. It's where most of the local BMW shops that I have asked send their stuff. I have had good luck with them in the past. Take care, David Gaab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
