I'm enjoying using my Hoover 619. I like the heft of it. So since finding new brush strips is like impossible...how does one do it themselves? The bristles certainly don't need to be horsehair! Has anyone done it before? Without taking the brushroll and strips apart, I'm imagining that you "stick" new bundles of bristles through the holes in the old metal strip? But then what would hold them from the back? Any ideas? Guy |

The Hoover 541-style brush roll is simple enough to rebristle, although it takes quite a while to do. I couldn't say about later brush-strips, though. |
