Okay, good. We're in agreement. Bosch has it wrong. High side toward
the spring; ramp goes down toward the pigtail. The good news is that
the Bosch brushes we need are 11-008, which are the ones they sell
for Beetles, so they should be available forever. They won't work
well for Beetles, but Type 3s will be in great shape.
This may partly explain why alternator conversions are so popular for
Beetles.
I'm declaring Max's generator finished.
