Any suggestions where to buy motor brushes by dimensions?
I have an old JCB branded 9" grinder - it was cheap years ago but has cut a lot of paving slabs etc since. Noticed it was smelling a bit "electrical" and "mis-firing" a little the other night. Removed the brushes to find them very worn - tickled them a bit, shoved a fibreglass cleaning wad down the holders - now it runs better, doesn't smell, but sparks well inside and I swear the brushes have shrunk in length in a few seconds running.
Seem to be 14mm wide 8 thick and no idea how long - currently 5mm long with 30mm long pig tails.
I bet it came with a spare set - but no idea where they might be now . . .
