Hi Pete, if you can get a sample out of the brush holder, an auto elec should have a generic set that will do the trick.
Channel auto electrics are open on Monday, and I have the RR booked in there for an A/C regas on Tuesday morning. They are next to animal tuckerbox in K'ton, 6229 4495.

Picked up the brushes for $8 and a thought I had better get a multimeter as well. Fitted brushes and whacked alternator back in car. First use of multimeter showed alternator not charging. Traced it back to the 12/24 volt switch where a plug had come loose. :mad
You live and learn.
