Moderator mervin Posted March 2, 2009 Moderator Posted March 2, 2009 maybe possible if you can find something a bit bigger and file it doen but easiest just to right things to start with i reckon Merv
grizzlydan Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 hi everyone. just a quick question, is it possible to fabricate a set of alternator brushes or do you have to buy originals from a dealer? ta Steve You can bastardise something to fit, but for your pockets sakes (at the best of times) keep with the original replacements. From experience it works out cheaper mate. Apart from that have you checked the windings on the bit that the brushes go onto? Get a copy of 'Motorcycle electrical techbook' by Haynes. Can let you know a decent bit about the old Lecky bits. Hope this helps.
wild foamy Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 thing is its for my jawa, it wont charge so im considering replacing the brushes and generally just giving it an overhaul, but replacement brushes are near impossible to find
grizzlydan Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Try 'Electrex' they specialise in all things electric, I've heard they can overhaul or do exchange items at reasonable prices. heres the link
