Several chains carry them in those flip down drawers where they have oddball hardware, toggle switches, springs and such. That size sounds like an old sewing machine motor. That would be another place to check, if you have an old fashioned repair shop in your area that repairs, rather than replaces the motors. -- Service to my country?

You can always sandpaper down a brush that is too large, just be sure to get all the powder and sand off the brush before placing it in the motor. I have done this many times for old shavers and other various small motors that use brushes. The new material may be a little softer or harder than the original material the brushes were made of, but that is not a big issue compared to getting the motor running again. H. R.
