I'm pretty sure 26D and 36D brushes are the same size. Am I right, or wrong?

Yep, I'm wrong. What was I thinking?
26D are the same size as stock vintage FT16D brushes. Am I right now?
What Swiss said.

Actually, 36D (*Mike is right), 26D (*Paul is right too!), 16D and 13UO are all different sizes.

Brush holders are kinda hard to measure accurately with calipers, but I come up with:
16D .115 height X .115 width
26D .118 height X .120 width

Nicky, i have a few 36D "pull-outs" left from my wing car days. Back in the '70s, these were 'the' brushes to use. After-market brushes were generally unavailable. I once bought a few new 36D motors cheap, pulled the brushes, & threw away everything else. I did keep one complete motor, but i don't know why.
I intend to live forever! So far, so good.

I had a plastic box of Classic brand brushes and springs on ebay last year and a card of Monogram last week. None of them ever got bids. Not sure how many more of these I can get, but I bet my guy has quite a few. I still have these and I will ask if he has more next time I talk to him.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try some Koford/Proslot brushes & see how they compare.
