DC carbon brushes are a little bit more tricky than AC carbon brushes as the grade of carbon can vary so much and it is important to get this correct as resistances are different and too much or not enough power going through the brush can damage the motor. Solent Tools recommend where possible to just post a sample of the brush for us to match. Carbon brushes for DC motors need to be right to avoid time and possible future problems especially in car or marine motors.
