Dangit ~
I wrote a long post and yahoo ate it =8-^ .
Anyway , I ordered up the new brushes from Mercedes Source.whatever because there are no longer " House Of Brushes " anywhere to be found.
Time was , anywhere in America , I'd go to the neqarest city and simply match up my old brushes for like .50 CENTS each , no longer .
NAPA still has a huge selection of Alternator , Generator and Electric Motor brushes but , you have to look at the pictures and kinda - sorta guesstimate which ones you want , no application guide .
Mercedes Source has 31 pages of W-123 parts , I read them all and ordered a couple more things I needed and made notes of yet more parts I'll order as I need them most notably TD parts , bits & bobs .
RockAuto.com also has the fan motor new aftermarket , about 1/8th the price Mercedes gets , I'd rather fix my original one if I can .
They have Amber (European Spec.) parking light lenses cheaply so I bought some and will see how bad the quality is ~ Ken says they suck but they're cheap and I have two Euro Spec W-123's now .
