Gosh darn, I need to rebuild the starter on my 1985 K100RT, sent my wife to the local BMW dealer for a "Brush Set" (part # 12 41 1 459 567). It only included one brush, B+.
I couldn't believe it. Called the dealer and confirmed: yes, the official BMW name for this part is a Brush Set.
Missing is the B- brush (ground) that is on a special plate in the starter motor. If you have a Clymer manual, on page 295, it is part #8 in the exploded diagram of the starter.
I've just spent a couple hours poking around the Internet, and cannot find this part. I'm in CA, USA. Anyone know where I can find this part?
I don't want to fix the starter with only one brush! Help!
