In the interim, do what I did, find some that are bigger and draw file
them down. Do a scratch test on something suitable to see if they are
the same hardness - just in case.

If you don't know how to "dress" a commutator or slip ring, take it to
someone who does, if that is, yours is pitted or rough. I get the
impression you have the skill and knowledge to do it yourself.

My Ferret starter is still running around 12 years later with a set of
underground mine cage winder brushes in it. I never did get around to
buying the real thing because:
A) Haven't seen any for sale.
B) Ferret starters are a bugger to get out and now that it is back in
there it can jolly well stay there.
C) It seems to crank better with these ones than with originals.

Doug
