[Shotimes] Re: radiator fan motor for 91

[Leigh Smith]

Joe;

Good job! $8 is better than $150 anyday.
IFIRC the elec shop told me the Ford brushes looked they were 
high-copper content, he could tell by the color. He didn't have any in 
that size so I used regular all carbon brushes. He promised me they 
wouldn't last as long. He was right. Less than half. But only $8.

Joe why don't you measure the brush size while they are out?  Then maybe 
someone will have some luck finding some high copper content brushes for 
us??
