Hi again,
I've ordered in new brushes for my newest fw 221 motor. Problem is the new brushes are smaller (especially the peg top) than the old one. At first I only ordered the brushes, not springs too. The springs are way too big for the brushes.
When I saw the brushes were smaller, I contacted the seller, he sent another set, same thing.
So I ordered another set, from a different seller that I know is well versed in fws. This time I ordered spring and brush combo. The brushes are same smaller size as the other prior two I ordered, and the new springs are much smaller, too.
Hubby and I pulled the springs and brushes from my 1st fw, they're the same larger size as the original ones in my my 2nd fw.
So are replacements just smaller?? To us it seems like there's too much "play" if we try to insert and use the new smaller ones. I'm stumped. The sellers are both at a loss...
I told hubby I know who to check with, my QB vintage machine people will help..So here I am.
Here's a pic showing what I mean:
Thanks all,
Kif
