I made contact with a company that can replicate the original brush, even down to the copper content and flylead fixing. They cost about £40 a set, BUT the problem is the commutator on the motor wears as much as the brushes, so you don't get much more life out of it.....

Hi David
There was a post on here from last year giving the Company name and address in Germany IIRC??? I'm sure a set was under £10

Well I'll be blowed if i can find it......

I spent the best part of 2 hours chatting to a chap who designs motors for a living. He explained the ins and outs in some detail, as to why these brushes have been designed in this manner.

Some people have managed to fit a "similar sized" brush in the holder, but they don't last long.
