Default source for motor brushes?

Have you tried ACE Hardware? I needed some special brushes and I
checked at the local ACE mostly for information concerning where I
might be able to find a good selection. They showed me the brushes
which they had and I was amazed at the number they had in stock.

In your case, I'm sure you may need to get brushes which are close in
size and then sand them down to the size you need. I ordered brushes
which were made for my motor and I still needed to touch them up to
make them fit properly.

Have a nice day

I tried a couple of ACE hardware places here, they all seemed to not
have them anymore. I remember that all had those assortments in little
yellow bin boxes. One guy told me he stopped carrying them when they
sold out, nobody ever asked for them. Must be something in the water
around here...
