    Default First brush restore mistake

    Here is a double duck set in rubber number two with old brush removed.. I made a mistake with the drill as u can see .. I figure once new brush is set I won't see the mistakes anyways.. My problem is I don't have calipers and have no idea what size brush to get .. The whole seems bigger then a quarter all,around what would be a safe size brush to get I could always open up the hole more?. Next post pic..

    Just measure the opening with a rule and convert the inch measurement to mm using Inches to Millimeters - in to mm conversion or similar converter program.
