Great collection Chas Is there any differences between the various outer gearbox shells (you have brown, white and grey? in your first picture) in terms of strength etc?

Hi Dan regarding the gearbox outer cases to me they all seem to be made from the same type of plastic just different colours ......
But not sure ....

Also does any one know where to get Carbon brushers from for the motor as I could do with a few ....

I used these a year ago. Seem OK although do not get a lot of use. Were £7.49 delivered, might be worth a try.
Whirlpool washing machine carbon brushes 481281729457 ( eBay item: 200339831824)

Chas engineering carbon products will make the brushes
For you just send them a sample brush with the braid
and re use the spring and holder
