Hi George, 
If you're willing to file a brush to the correct size, let me know the
dimensions of the existing brushes and I'll try to find something close.  

I think a hit & miss engine would be very cool on a generator.  You could hook
the genny up to some lights or a big meter, and then the tourists could watch
the light intensity fluctuate with the speed of the engine.
