Subject:Parts wanted Alternator brush set (cost saver)

Any know a good source for alternator brushes?
Not the entire regulator, just the brushes.  I have several
regulators, that these burshes are just soldered in, and can be
easily replaced.   I also  have a few that are welded in, and
would not be as easy.   The brushes I need  measure
5mm x 8 mm by about 3/4" with a wire lead of about 1 inch.
OR  5/16" x 13/64" x 3/4" .... The other solution
would be to machine down a bigger set.  I've never tryed
machining a carbon brush, but I see no reason why It
could not be done.
