[TheForge] Motor brushes

The wire is part of the brush. 

You will need to find new brushes.

Hello
How does the brush manufacturer connect the fine copper wire to the
carbon brush? 
I have repaired the forge blower motor brush, soldering the wire back
onto the brush, do not know if a good fix or not. Am in pursuit of a new
pair of brushes.

It appears that maybe copper flakes are embedded into the end of the
brush, or it could just be copper from the wire that I pulled out... 

Or is a different repair method better? 

Thank you
lynn
