Post by: jikwan on March 29, 2008, 10:15:54 pm: 2"x10" narrow
5 rows of bristles 2 3/4" long
jetting it should be no problem
weird threads but can be re threaded using metal male +heated

You can sometimes get away with cutting the thumb off an old rubber glove if the brush hole is too big.
Just put the thumb over the male thread and it tightens up nicely. Dai
