I have a 1980 diesel Rabbit with a Motorala
alternator.  I went to a local auto parts supply store
and they claimed they had no Motorola replacement parts.
I went to the VW dealer and got the two brushes and plastic
holder for $17.00---a real ripoff.  Also one brush is
shorter than the other.  Anybody know why and are brush assemblies
available at lower cost other than VW dealers.  The mileage on
the car is 77,000.
