[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 49545, member: 2806"] [I]I'd like to make up a 'locking tool' to insert through earth brush holder[/I]. Keep in mind that unless the hole for the earth brush was drilled and tapped precisely over the centerline of the armature, and precisely perpendicular to it, and unless the tip of your locking screw is precisely flat (and perpendicular, etc.) screwing it down will impart a rotation to the armature that defeats the purpose. This can be minimized by it either having a freely rotating "foot" on your locking tool (like on a 'C' clamp), which would be a lot of trouble to make, or by making it with a blunt tip instead of a flat on its end.
