looking for motor brushes

[The Cobbler]

I've been going thru some stuff that's been laying around trying to resurrect it.
I have a small portable compressor in need of brushes. Canadian Tire Job Mate no name made in China POC . looking for brushes like in the picture ' they measure .0213 x.0213 or 5.5 mm x 5.5 mm
any ideas?
spent way too long searching on ebay
any help appreciated

Try this seller on E-Bay.
http://stores.ebay.com/Guadalupe-Valley-Sales?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

The nice thing is they give the dimensions on all there brushes.
If you cant find the exact size,find a set that is close and do a little work on a belt sander or a good flat surface and a piece of sandpaper.
Also if you find some that will work but the leads have the wrong kind of terminal,they are easy enough to change.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that!
I'm not concerned with the terminal on the lead so much as I am with the orientation (coming out the side rather than the end) and I can re size but if I could find direct fit it would be great.

They can be kind off tough to find. Here are two suggestions:

1. If you have good Ace Hardware they often have assorted carbon brushes.
2. Try McMaster.com. They have a pretty good offering.

You can always buy a larger size and sand it down. These things sand down very easily.

Find a brush that is dimensionally close and sand to fit.
