[TR] electric motor Brush repair

My karcher pressure washer gave up the ghost. I discovered that the
little braided copper lead had broken off the carbon rod that forms one
of the motor brushes.

I can't seem to locate anybody selling the brushes, so I was wondering
if I could repair it. I bored a small hole 1/4" into the carbon and
inserted one end of the braid.

The question is; how do I attach the braid to the carbon rod? The
connection has to be somewhat solid and electrically conductive. I was
wondering about liquid solder.

Any experience out in list land?

Cheers,
