Made some general enquiries about carbon brushes for the rear wheel steer main motors and below is one reply I received. Can anyone help? Many thanks for the inquiry. Dependent upon the grade of the carbon, the cost would be ? 4.33each + VAT for a standard carbon or ? 5.70each + VAT for a copper based carbon ? no spring or terminal fitted?

What about sending him an old one for analysis?

Looks like this is gonna be real big problem! Read this, another reply :( We can offer a same-day despatch on all brushes, but they are made to order. In truth, it is not possible to go only on size because we stock dozens of different grades for different motor types. what make is your motor? what does it do? what amps does it pull? what rpm? if you answer these questions i will quote you. thanks john rolinson Looks like I'll have to try and find a whole new main motor! Where can I get motor? Can I run the car just on 2ws without doing any damage?

Lot of fuss for a couple of brushes! Best phoning the scrappers or stick a request on x-parts.co.uk
