I bought my bearings from Smith, they told me that slip rings for the Valeo were not available. I'll call them and see if I can sort out this business with the Bosch alternator, but I'm suspecting mixed usage on the same model car, and maybe even within the same model year. And parts availability may not be any better for the Bosch, but I'm thinking it may be a whole lot easier to open up the case.
Not sure that I'll need that toll free number for Smith - they're about 2 miles away from me.
