Does any one have a good source for landing gear brushes for a B35 Bonanza ? The one I have seen are about 130 dollars that seems high for brushes.

Unless you plan on doing a "run-in" of the brushes, you won't get 3 years of service out of them. You'll be disappointed when it turns out you need brushes again so soon....

Do you have a bench where a load can be applied to the motor gearshaft and the brushes can be run-in correctly?

Otherwise you are wasting your hard-earned $$

The $130 brushes will last 20 years if they are installed correctly.

Have an auto electric shop (generator/alternator) do that for you if you need to save $$ Some will do that for you if you explain to them what you need.

I wasn't wanting to use generator brushes, I wanted to know if there is cheaper places to purchase the correct brushes.
