swapped out the Alternators regulator brush assembly this morning on my 760 v6.Good news is that the alternator is charging perfectly,the bad is that Iam now missing quite a few alternator fins.
I did the job with alternator in situ since getting the alternator off the car completely, meant stripping the transmission cooler pipes.
I lost a nut, the m8 that bolts the alternators adjustment bracket on, couldnt find it so I used another one.
Starting the car revealed where it had gone to,by taking off quite a few cooler fins.The little blighter had lodged between them.
I had to use the car to get to work so I left it.
Question should I consider getting this sorted to be urgent,or is the amount of imbalance and reduced cooling not to great, until I can source another one?
