carbon brushes.
HELLO,
I am looking for brushes to fit a 9.6v hand drill. No luck finding a supplier here in the uk. It is one of the cheaper types with years of life in the motor batteries are good. It would be a shame to bin for the want of carbons. Thanks, Cutty. |

I've never used them myself and don't have the phone number, but our local motor rewinder told me they keep many brushes in stock, and those they don't have can be made at reasonable cost. Try searching for "Electrocarbon" in Birmingham at Yell.com. Chris |

This is the company you want: http://www.businessmagnet.co.uk/comp...arbon-2451.htm Their website isn't working, which isn't a good sign, but try giving them a call. Chris |

There's an electric motor place in Horley, just outside Gatwick. I
can't remember what they're called but I drive past them on the way to work so can note down the details if you are interested... Robin |

Try a hobby shop that caters to RC car enthusiasts. Many of the motors
are made by Mabuchi and the car guys have all sorts of parts available. |
