March 2, 200916 yr 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.
March 3, 200916 yr Author 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
March 3, 200916 yr Try 'Electrex' they specialise in all things electric, I've heard they can overhaul or do exchange items at reasonable prices. heres the link
March 4, 200916 yr Author oh, erm... my german isnt that good mate, any chance of a translation? (dont want to order it and then have to send it back because it aint the right thing.) have translated the word in three parts and it has returned "frictional coal bracket"... O.o
