I found a factory rebuilt Bosch alternator, on sale online for $88 and with a $30 rebate, so I ordered it.
It seems like it was the last one at this price.

I do have a bosch voltage regulator, with about 3/8" left on the brushes. While changing the oil today, I removed the voltage regulator, looked at, and measured the brushes.
How long are the brushes when new?
The regulators are about half the cost of a factory rebuilt Bosch alternator, so may buy a rebuilt one.

They had just the one Rob ;
I was working on the turbo and wiped the caked on grease off as my arm kept getting filthy, then I spotted the old BOSH rebuilt tag and took a closer look because our W123's all came only with 55 ampere alternators .
That's why I took the bracket too ~ I don't know if it'll fit but why not ? it was on an OM627 5 cylinder turbo charged Diesel engine....
I hope you're installed a BOSCH brand regulator, they really do make a difference .
Oops, gotta go , dinner .

Where did you get the 80 amp alternator? Did they have more?
Is t a direct fit? What car was it for?
My alternator is under charging pretty bed, and it hasn't been that long since changing out the voltage regulator, so it might be shot.
I'll need to check voltage regulator.
