Seeking those who may need TW Rect. brush

Post by TWrenn » Sat Aug 05, 2023 8:39 am

As the subject line says it all...I'm seeking out as many as possible of those of us who use, and swear by, NOT AT!! ha ha, the infamous TW timer, this time with the rectangular brush. I ran a good number of round brushes last winter, now it's time to attend to those of us who also use the rectangular brush. I have a similar post in the "discussion thread" also. So for now I'm querying those who have the rectangular brush to see if I can get the minimum order of 12, costing a little over $20 each plus tax and the ride. As mentioned, I am not making ANY profit...I am only doing this because I believe in this fantastic timer so much I do not wanna see it end up in the trash pile. I also have a run of what I call the "contact ring" (not including the metal contacts) from my local machine shop right now, they're producing 9 of them, they barely wear out, but someday might. They won't be cheap, my cost will approach $45 each but it beats NOT having this timer! PM me if you're interested in being on the waiting list for either product. I already do have 4 for the brush. I don't need any myself at this point, I think I stocked up enough when Tony was around to get my cars to my grave.

Tim,
What is the composition and dimensions of these brushes. I purchased a bunch of stuff from an elderly old car enthusiast. In one of the wooden cigar boxes there were some rectangular graphite blocks in unused condition. They are free floating and not attached to any wiring.

Shoulda mentioned I currently have 2 guys for 4 brushes so far....8 more to go and they can make a run. Be $20.32 ea. plus tax and the ride. Wouldn't hurt to stock up for the long run. You can always re-sell em if need be down the road! PM me.

Mike they're a carbon brush. Graphite won't work I'm sure.

Thanks, I see from your picture that what I have will not work.
