aorry , not brushes ...bushings ..perhaps you call them rubber grommets... they fit inside both sides of the bracket that hold/support the alternator ( the bolt goes thru them at each end and than a nut on each end )... not brushes in the alternator

Didn't mention that in previous message, but you have later BMW models alternator (not e9) that's why OEM wasn't showing any bushings, because genuine e9 alternator have only alloy mount (no gum). When i took off couple months ago genuine old Bosch 55A alternator from 1974 CSI engine, there was no bushings and no even room for them (alternator mount slight pretty tight in the engine alternator support arm).

thats makes sense...thanks for the info...my car had a brand new engine and 5 speed fitted about 12 years ago...so it makes sense that a latter alternator has been used
