Until recently, one could get a complete carbon brush replacement kit for these machines, part no. 3-672105-000.
The individual part numbers were: 1-672021-000 - carbon brush 1-672103-000 - screw cap 1-801034-000 - protector cap 1-801019-000 - carbon brush holder (Buckeye: 81-8422-01) If replacing carbon brushes, on pre-1990 units, the original screw cap (1-080103-000) must be replaced with the new style (1-672103-000), since if you use the 1-672021-000 carbon brush on the old-style screw cap, it may be burned when the motor is running. ~Ben This post was last edited 05/07/2020 at 22:55 | ||

No
You don't want to do that. Look inside the motor housing. You will see the brush holders are held in place by one of the coil screws.
Put the screws in and it won't move. If you have Kirby carbon brushes for any kirby older than 1970 those brushes will fit. If you want royal parts uptowngirljenni on eBay and evacuum.com is where to get them. Ben is where you get part numbers. He won't like me suggesting Kirby brushes on royals but they are the same dimensions if motor is either 5.4-6.0 amps or smaller. Les | ||

Um
That doesn't look like a replacement part.
I'm trying to follow what you are saying. The black brush cap the inside is what your showing. The outside is notched in the center for a flathead screwdriver. I'm guessing you are saying that the pic on the right looks the same on both sides? If it's a solid non threaded piece you could rig something up but it would fail. Check these two links out. www.toolpartspro.com/supe... The second is the entire assembly. You will have to get out measuring calipers. Ill check tommorow and compare kirby and royal parts with my caliper to check. The links probably will help. The piece you bought is trash. Les | ||

Wait
I seen the pics on eBay. I think they will work. The cap holds brush inside. The one you ordered doesn't have the copper protusion. That means if the original you cut off copper excess it would be the same size. If you got a cap on it it's the same amount of force.
I apologize it's first I've seen of them. Les | ||

No
I wouldn't cut the new replacement. You will crack it. You can take 3/16 off the spring. The spring won't break.
It makes perfect sense but plastic breaks. You could argue the metal resistance is greater than plastic and that's why theres no place to seat on plastic. I'd put new everything on measure the carbon brushes. Use the vacuum for a couple weeks and look at the wear. The spring dicipates the tension. Sometimes you have longer carbon brushes on one side. The brushes would still wear out at a similar pace. I'd try it and I bet the spring and plastic will make replacement as good as original. Les | ||

Thanx Les & Ben I will mull it over.... BTW I liked that toolpartspro store. I will probably be looking there for a few things. Robert | ||
