I would be budgeting an entirely new alternator within the next 10,000 miles. From your pictures it looks like one of the brushes is shorter than the other by a fair amount. This is because the contact ring that they ride along inside the alternator is worn. The new brushes will wear just like the ones you took out. Soon you will be going through voltage regulators every couple months. (Spoken from experience)
