Tony,
NO. But, have you tried taking the brush holder and what is left of your
brushes to an "auto electric" - starter rebuilder - in your area? I've had
great luck just walking in with stuff in hand and having them find parts
that work. Are the the correct part # - probably not - but who cars if
it is fit and function compatable. In fact you usually save a lot of money.
Last example, was when the starter solenoid contacts on my Chrysler mini
van (3L V6) went. I called the dealer - no rebuild kits - new starter /w
solenoid $260. I called aftermarket - no rebuild kits - rebuilt solenoid
$95, rebuilt starter /w solenoid $80 (figure that one out). Finally went
to a local starter/gen/alt... rebuilder. Brought the old contacts with me.
He pulled some out of a drawer - identical - $6 for the pair.
