AT1 starter/generator brushes was created by nhsteve
Looking for a source for the 4 starter/generator brushes used on the 125 series, part #101-8111-10.
Currently very thin on the ground. Want/need 8 in total as am rebuilding 2 AT1s. Have one coming from Canada. Partzilla and the other 'usual' places I go to all show NLA.

Haven't been able to get to the old Speed and Sport website like I used to, I think they may have been bought out? The one that Cindy Appleman was parts manager of. Anyone know anything about that?
Appreciate any info!!

You missed a 1 out!

Anyways up, Yambits here in the UK do repros, although I can't vouch for their quality.
Link attached.

I have 3 brushes I'd sell for $40 shipped. (which is probably a lot less than I paid for them years ago)
There might still be a post on the site about brushes from a supplier in Thailand or someplace like that that were very reasonable and had quick shipping. It was years ago though.

Thanks to both of you. Mark, I will contact you through the site.
I did go to Yambits. Surprised I did not recall them as I got bits for the RD in the shed from them. And I noted somewhere else someone mentioned CMSNL. I'll want to check them out as well (thought they were mostly Honda though).
Thanks again!

Only problem with going to CMSNL is postage. Its the same price for an item at Euro 40 as it is at Euro 100.
Once you spend over a certain amount it's free. Work that out. Also, they do substitute parts. I ordered 4 screws for the DT3 air box lid. They're a certain type. The ones that came were similar but not the same. They needed washers and look totally shite. On the other hand, genuine indicator lenses 4 Euros each for the earlier type, so i bought 6 sets. Deal ! Web site is simple.

DEET sells a set of airbox top screws that are correct for the earliest DT models, not sure about the DT3? Maybe check the part #s first. I got a set for the '68 I did a couple years ago. I went through eBay but you could probably just contact him direct (?).

Well, I went to Yambits and made an order for some of their small bits. $167 worth. They came in within a reasonable time I suppose, but the paperwork coming in was pretty bad. Package was FedEx'd (might have been the only option??), and between FedEx and Customs I was in a pickle. Customs wanted a LOT of information on each and every part (i.e.- where was the metal used for the screws smelted?

I am NOT kidding!) When it really looked like it was going to get sent back, I contacted Yambits, who sent on a pdf file with the info, and an apology for not providing it earlier to me and Customs. Eventually I got it. A few days later I get a FedEx bill for $67 - $30.xx Customs, $20.xx "storage", and the rest a fee of some kind.
They do have some nice bits, and it is good to know that they CAN be found. But if I can get them on this side of the Atlantic next time I will.
Hey MarkT- I am still good for those AT1 parts!!! Just need your address or email to send a payment!!
