Jay, sorry to be so slow in responding to your reply, thank you very much for going to all that trouble. It's strange that the limit on alternator brushes are so readily available compared to that of starters.
I think I'll play safe and get a new set as it's a bugger to dig the starter out from its cosy little nest atop the engine. The only thing that made me hesitate was the amount I've already spent on loads of other stuff while it's having a strip down, it's hard to know where to draw the line between common sense renewals and going over-the-top.
Thanks again.
