If you cant get one then i suggest you see your local bearing supplier for the bearings and your local motor rewinder for the brushes  :icon_winkle:

you may get a bit more life out of the brushes by swapping them over as one should be far more worn than the other

buy off them or go to your local bearing shop, and go for a decent make, some of the cheapies are just that
