They seemed sure they are the right ones for the Haier motor, but let’s see when they arrive.

You will be sadly disappointed as I’ve just checked on their web site and they are not the correct brushes. 🙁

I quite often find that just using the carbons and the original holders will get you out of a hole

Ah, but would you do this Andy?

‘Have got it running in the meantime by cleaning the commutator & and freeing up the brushes in the holders, about 5mm of carbon left !’

Out of interest anyone else had problems with Bosch brushes jamming in the holders. I always file a slight bit off the sides to stop this and on occasions even changed the spring from the original. Not a problem but you’d think they’d fit perfectly 1st time

It’s the brush locking tab that hasn’t been cleared enough not the brush.

Whoa! I guess we’re talking pattern brushes here……hmmmm? 🙁

But no further comment on that from me….public forum. 😉
