just had to take starter aprt - brushes worn out
so starter rotor has been pulled about to get end cap and starter case off (need to clean up commutator)
Assume there is an oil seal between strater and LHS enigne case?
Will this need changing now?

Also any source of new brushes or complete brush holder in UK?
(found holder on ebay in USA)

Not if it is not leaking oil into starter.

Brushes fr any Duc dealer, one is mounted on the plate.
