    Default brush holder springs

    Hi.. I need one of these brass springy thingies .. size is 3.5mm dia and about 40mm in length.. alternatively find a supplier in OZ who carries brass springs..No luck there as yet.
    I had a selection of them removed from various motors over the years.. but in my shed they may never be found !

    Hi Kenny, Guys,

    I've seen similar clips and also ones that were just a circle, a bit like a figure of eight with the top chopped off. Similar to a rubber tube retainer. Unfortunately I've nothing that I could take a picture of ! Something like this.

    Actually you could use one of these by trapping your wire underneath it.
