Autohelm 6000+ with type 2
linear drive intermittently stops working and shows DRIVESTOP. RM FAQ helpfully suggests problem is likely carbon bushes in

RM in
Singapore referred me to agent who want to sell new motor for SGD 550. Contacted motor manufacturer in UK via website -
brushes are GBP 2.50 each BUT minimum order is GBP 100.
Motor is FRACMO Ref: 452-02-136,
serial: H04123/0065, part no: 3035-006-F.
Brush is Morganite
Electrical Carbon 6x10x20, grade CM9/M50-5113
Has anyone had the same problem and found a supplier of just 2 or 4 of these
brushes or equivalent?
I am in a
remote area of N Borneo,
Malaysia, otherwise I would be doing a tour of auto
electrical repairers.
At present rate I will have 36 spare brushes- having complied with the minimum order
