Re: replacement broken motor brushes on Bosch-Skill drill motor

We are using last year's bot for new driver practice and programmer practice with the new RC. But one of the drill motors blew its brushes to bits after a few minutes of driving this fall. I'm glad it made it through the competition last year.

So we've ordered a replacement motor and some spares, but it's a shame to toss a motor for lack of $1 worth of brush and assembly. Has anyone found a source for these parts? B-S says no-can-do.

Thanks - Bill
My local ACE hardware store sells power tool brushes but it is just the brush, not the whole endbell assembly. I do know where to get the motor for $24.
