Hi Terry:

First of all, removing the generator does not require any diassembly of the front engine cover and timing chain drive. You simply remove the 3 nuts holding the generator in place, and then separate the generator from the bronze sleeve or "snout" that separates the generator from the engine block casting, and just slide the generator rearwards, making sure the bronze sleeve stays in place - it holds the gear drive and timing chain in place within the timing chain housing.

As to brushes, I've never been able to get my hands on any - but you can adapt something, no doubt. I'm sure our friend Jason from AER will have information about that, and also about the so-called "regulator" - that's a bit of a misnoner since it doesn't regulate current - you have a third brush generator so the positioning of the 3rd brush controls the amperage. The "regulator" is a voltage control and cutout. NORS regulators (O-D 21262 I believe) have just recently been discontinued by NAPA and I'm not aware of any source for them, but apparently there are some alternatives. Again, Jason Smith is probably the best source of information on this as he makes his living doing this, and in the past I've found him very helpful.

Jason visits this site occasionally, here's his info:
