These people are all car WIREMEN. Not many around town,
compared to mechanics.

This wireman in Pudu, near Pudu Plaza area, whom I used
to go to from the 80s to 90s, has the entire machine whereby
they mount your alternator onto it, spins it and reads the
output current on an old fashioned meter. Very old machine really,
probably dating back from the 50s to 60s.

In the mid-80s, I bought a used altenator from the breaker yard shop
in Cheras, Soon Loi, for 60. Nippondenso, Japanese made in those days.

He installed it for $15.

I'm not sure whether he is still around there, or even still alive, but
if he is, would like to look for him again.

There wer two or three wiremen in that area. One was located
in the squatter houses right opposite Pudu Plaza.

If the guy is free, changing the bushes is actually a half hour job.

Nobody replaces carbon bushes for radiator fan motors here,
not even wiremen, I believe.

You could look for a generic one like those Taiwanese ones,
probably won't cost more than $100.


The ones for the Proton Saga are about $60.
