There are probably NOS brush sets out there still as well. Mark the case with a couple lines to keep the parts lined up. Mineral spirits for cleaning. There is kind of a trick to keep the brushes in place while installing the bottom. Some folks use tape, tywraps or a thin plate of aluminum bent to keep the brushes in that can be slid back out once you are lined up and close. Maybe some other folks will chime in. I made the plate and it has worked well for decades. Not sue about the notch in the magneto pivot but from here it looks like it may be upside down beneath the brass collar. Flat side up. Clean and lubricate and reassemble. The magneto base holes will line up with the rectangular spacing on the pivot holes. </blockquote>
