Well the &#@$# Simpson/Lawrence Sprint 1000 Windless gave up the ghost when all of the brushes self-destructed. A call to my friendly S/L parts distributer and guess what? Brushes are not available.... Oh, how I love S/L...
Has anyone encountered this? Has anyone has brushes made up elsewhere?
Has anyone replaced their S/L with a unit that fits or covers the existing footprint?
Thanks!!!

FYI Brushes
I now have a source to have them made.
Gulf Coast Marine Electric, 815 Buttonwood Dr, Ft. Myers Beach, 33931, 239-765-6600, Ray Howerton, can have them made by Helwig Carbon in Wisconsin. As of this date (9/26/2006) there is a minimum order of $60.00. Gulf Coast will repair the motor or send you directly to them (?) if you want to fix your own. They did a lot of research for me to find a source, so please give them your businoss if possible.
You will need on of the old brushes to send to them
