I can't use the old springs, because if you look close, the "peg top" of the new brushes are smaller, and the springs are too big for them...
Oh wait, you mean get the bigger brushes and use old springs I bet..
I haven't been able to get either seller to understand what the issue is.
I originally did order just the brushes to re-use the old springs. But they don't fit. That seller said he'd send correct size for fw 221, but I received same thing . Then I went with different seller, and I thought, just order the brushes with springs. So I did, but both brushes and springs are a lot smaller...
I certainly have plenty of small brushes now..lol

So the fw 221 motors can vary?? Meaning some have smaller brushes/springs sets and some have larger?
Because both sellers have said these are the right ones, and I took it that there are only one size.

I'll see if I can find the larger brush by the part number you supplied.
thank you so much for the reply and help!!
Regards,
K
