REFLECTOR: IMPORTANT MT PROP INFO & QUESTION

[Wayne]

I will try to get pictures next time I take the cowl off.  With that number you should be able to get  a set of brushes from a NAPA store or an auto electric shop.

     I don't know what IVO is selling now but when I bought my prop the brush holder was do-do.  They were slot car brushes and would not last. I found a DELCO brush holder assembly for a CS130D alternator that approximates closely the spacing on my brush rings. They last fairly well. You have to saw off lots of extraneous stuff and make a bracket. 
  Do you have a picture of the brush/bracket?  Mine was fabricated by the builder and I'm trying to find out where I can get a replacement brush if I ever need it.  It seems like the brush will last a long time, however.  I was told that a standard brush can handle 80 amps/square inch.  According to that, the brush that IVO provides can only handle 2 amps.
