Only buy Bosch voltage regulators!

I guess it's been said before, but it bears repeating. Do NOT buy the Eichlin/NAPA crap part. It's $2 less and maybe more convenient (though eeuroautoparts got the bosch one to me in 2 days), but it just sucks. A PIA to get in because it's the wrong shape, and it failed in two weeks. One of the brushes simply broke. Piece o' crap. The bosch part is a thing of beauty and it slides right in.
