Buy the brushes from
Engineering Carbon Products Ltd. in Croydon. Ignore the reference to "heater"; it's an error which unfortunately they haven't corrected. They are in fact for the radiator fan. Club member
Greeners introduced me to this company who created their product using one of my old brushes as a pattern, so you can be sure that they are exactly right for the job. You'll find similar on e-bay but from an unknown source. These are best avoided. Some members have tried them and find that they only last five minutes.

Arctic has posted an excellent pictorial guide for this repair which you should find useful.
Just one tip from me. When removing the motor end cap, be careful not to grip the body too tightly in the vice. The permanent magnets are made from a composite material which is brittle.
Let us know how you get on.
