I have an old Air X 12V wind turbine, I have searched for a good while with no success for brushes, they where a copper alloy and 3 of them.
Does any one know of were to go to get them or get them made?

No I wish they where they are strieght and longer for the cord
Those are pics of them, I can't find data on how long they should be or when they need replacing, it doesn't say in the manual either.

Those look a lot like a standard electric motor brush. Maybe try a motor rewind shop?

I made some by filing some large brushes, but the proper ones are a metal mix of some sort, I'll bring them to acklands and see if they recognize them in any way.
from the ones I made seems like new ones would be 2 to 1.5 inches long.
