[RE-wrenches] Shurflo 9325 pump.....

[Tump]

I have in the past just removed the brushes and gone to a GOOD hardware store of a starter alternator shop and found something similar and used sandpaper to "fit" the brushes. The brush material is quite soft.

The problem seems to be that the manufacturer wants to supply *kit* of parts and not individual parts, like the brushes, which apparently need to be replaced every year.     Same with the cable adaptor – you have to buy a kit that includes all sorts, when you only need one individual piece.
