Truly excellent! - a good feeling to do something like that, fix
something rather than throw it out.

An old electricians trick is to get brushes, bigger, and file them
down to size. Messy, but it can be done. You have already figured out
changing the contactor caps....

It is great to get something like this going. I was going to do that
"sand them down" trick, but could not seem to find any that were
oversized in the correct way. And boy, it IS messy!

Thanks,
