Reply to "Got a fix for a noisy brush plate?"

Oilite sintered bronze is the best but I have machined shoulder bearings out of brass too or bronze from old valve guides. One problem with pre sized bearings is they will be oversize for the worn shaft. Reinforced phenolic which the brush plate is made of is pretty abrasive. If you measure the armature shaft where it contacts the plate I will bet you will find it undersize.
