Chances are you can do just the brushes, or the voltage regulator assembly that includes the brushes. I see them on EBay a lot.

Most people would not know about the brush issue, and would replace the whole alternator. But most likely the windings in the alternator are OK. Just the brushes no longer making good contact.
