Mark,



Not sure where you're located, but brushes are available in a wide variety of
sizes and styles at better hardware stores.B  Engineers are better at this and
will advise you better here than I, but it always seemed to me that brushes
were molded somehow around the lead.B  For the best results, I'd keep looking
locally, or even get on the manufacturer's website to see if you can't find
the exact part.
