Hitachi voltage regulator replacement

[Cliff R]

Anyone know where I can buy (in Australia) a new voltage regulator for a Hitachi alternator off an MY, EA81.
The regulator is a TR1Z-56, wired B-S-L-F-E
The alternator is a Hitachi LR150-151B
I am going to have a crack at replacing the voltage regulator on my original alternator which failed about 15 years ago (yes I kept it) and replace the bearings at the same time.
Bearings shouldn't be an issue but the only regulators I can find on ebay are overseas.
Not sure about the brushes though but I don't know if I can get the whole, regulator/brush assembly.

Anyway of contacting Hitachi or maybe chase up a mob that rebuild alternators as they may have parts or be able to point you in the right direction for them.

Jaycar could be an option too

All the best with it. My last EA alternator died when the bearings let go. That was fun...

Cheers
