Need Help fb500 carriage motor and electric brushes

Has anybody found motor brushes for the FB500 carriage drive motor? The motor is made by Ametek exclusively for Flextronics in Singapore and cost us about $1000. But if I could find motor brushes (with springs) I could get back to work for just a few bucks. Any help is appreciated.

Look for a local electrical repair vendor, google something like "electric graphic service+ name of my city". That or ask a local commercial printer who they use to fix their machines.

Is there anyone who can help me to find a new carriage drive motor for my HP FB700? I would like to replace it, but buying from HP directly would cost a lot... So I am looking for an other way to purchase a motor.

If anyone has the size of the brush or a specific part number for an aftermarket brush for the Carriage Drive Motor please share. It would be appreciated. They are so easy to change, I just want to assure I replace with the correct size

I might have a spare motor if you interested.
