Rick's Alternator Assembly Brushes

Post by Spooky#1 »

Any opinions? They aren't very expensive but are they good quality and reliable?

I just installed a pair of them for a guy earlier this week. They seemed to fit just like oem and it was charging when he left here.
My customer supplied the brushes and said they were from Rick's. They were cheap at $15.00 for the pair. As for quality and
longevity, I haven't a clue. I have always used genuine Honda brushes.
Best,
Phil

Same here, I am obsessive about originality and would tend to go with in the bag Honda parts. They aren't that expensive and I like knowing everything is the way it left the factory.

The only anecdote I can recall reading was that aftermarket brushes to tended to wear much faster than OEM. So maybe measure their length and measure again in a couple thousand miles, just for peace of mind.
