What type of alternator is it ? If is the Lucas-Mangneti Marelli A127 used on the earlier K series changing the alternator regulator complete with brushes is a 10 minute job.

That could be either Denso or Lucas-Mangneti Marelli both are diy rebuildable provided you have a decent sized soldering iron there is an Irish seller on eBay sells all the bits cheaply and has instructional videos on YouTube.
