Thanks for the part numbers. I see from the B&D site they're back-ordered until June 15. Hope you're willing to post how things work out, once you get them installed. Guess I'll hold off on ordering them for now -- just inspected mine, they have maybe 3/16" left until the spring is completely extended and will no longer push the brush up against the motor. I have now measured the length of the (-) terminal brush with my calipers, so I can monitor its rate of wear.
By the way, be careful with handling the (-) cable that runs between the motor, battery, and circuit board. There is a short length of skinny & stiff wire in that cable, susceptible to breaking if it is flexed back and forth too much. The skinny wire is located in the white insulated part of the cable. I had to repair mine a couple of years ago; here are more details on fixing it in case yours breaks too:
