hi,:)

not ideal, :eek:
:idea:
but maybe the actual basic unit is the same,

and it's the brush pack / regulator that's the difference..

can you swap that part...?
or even swap the brushes..in case that's what failed on the original, ( they do just wear out..)

hi,

there CAN be problems with the inside of the main earth cable, from battery to car body / engine,

a basic test with a "jumplead" will rule that out.. ;)
