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

Dan,

We used to pass this place every weekend on the way to DE seashore.

Don't know if he can help you or not. At least it might be worth a phone call.

Thanks Rick! Sent them an email. There's dozens of T-Bird places and dozens of carbon brush places!!!! This is a favor I'm doing for somebody ~ you know how that goes!

It cannot be fixed.... Therefore, tell your friend I will take it off his hands ;)

My local store sells carbon brushes in many different sizes. I can take a look for you if you want, Dan.
