Brushes are brushes, as long as they fit.
Any motor repair shop should have them.

Bush or Brush Ian?

There are a few companies that do specialise in the selling and maintenance of treadmills so maybe contact one of those companies (google for treadmill repair)

Cheers

Del.

Must be an English to American thing. I read 'brushes'.

Brushes? Oversized ones can be filed down to fit. Messy, but easy.

Bushings? Like a bearing? They shouldn't be hard to find either.

Bushes grow in my flower bed. ;-)

well i have rang round every were i can get the motor for a £150 but nobody sells the brushes.

ghurd you say they can be filed down to fit, is that the differance between all brushes the length?
so if i get some brushes from a washing machine motor with a little bit of fileing they should fit?
