1925 Buick starter generator brushes

[48762]

OK, my first post. Does anyone have a current source for brushes for the 1925 Delco starter / generators? Or even someone who can sell me the material so I cam make my own?

All comments are appreciated.

Thanks Tom,

Have you tried a local auto electric shop? They may not list them but if you take in the old ones they may be able to match them by size. Or find some slightly larger you can sand down.

Already have it at a good shop, just trying to help source the correct brushes.

Thanks for replying.

I bought brushes for my 29 Plymouth from Special Interest Autos:

Tom,

    If you make you own brushes it is important that the generator moving brush (carbon) is the correct length. The generator brush

    has to lift before the starter brush contacts the armature. Length of the brush and worn components in the lifting

   linkage can cause problems.

Thanks to all so far. I have contacted Special Interest Auto, but no response back yet. Does anyone know where to buy brush material? It appears that there are two different materials here. One mostly carbon and another mostly copper. I would gladly make my own if I could just get the raw material.

Thanks

If it's a STARTER/generator the starter brushes NEED to be copper bearing material which is a dull gray in color.

Don't ask me how I know.......
