Somewhat confusing. I suppose from the standpoint of someone who just wants to replace their alternator and never deal with rebuilding it, it doesn't matter. But I figure I'm at least half way through the slip rings on my Valeo and they're not replaceable. And truthfully, I don't want to have to go through the ordeal of opening the case again. And your statement about used ones being a gamble is very much correct, even applies to rebuilt. I checked two different rebuilder's websites, and they replace bearings and brushes, resurface the old slip rings, and retain the electronics if they check good. I'd like to identify one that fits, is easily rebuildable, and has complete parts availability (brushes, slip rings, bearings, regulator, rectifier).

Why don't you check this site? They have all the parts available. Call them up to verify accuracy of parts.

The Bosch is on my car right now. No time to peek and get the PN.
