Hello everybody.
A friend is restoring a 57 T-Bird, and he gave me the fan/blower motor to look at. It needs brushes. I have all the specs. I got it working pretty good by putting tiny spacers in the brush holders to get good spring-loaded contact with the commutator- for now.
Anybody know where I can order a set of brushes???
thanks,
Dan
