Carbon brushes of virtually whatever size can be found on Aliexpress at surprisingly low prices without any quality problems at all, based on my own experience.

If you can't find the right brushes that fit, then find something oversized and grind it down to fit.
Carbon brushes are soft and easy to grind down with a bench grinder, orbital sander, or just a file.

Be careful if using a power tool/grinder, brushes are softer than you think and it will take off material very quickly.  A large file is probably safer.

A flat surface and sand paper or emery is my preferred option.
