the instructabile does not really say a source for the brushes, ive not really seen many that match all that well. im sure others could be modded...

I noticed the brushes are a bit different from the ones I am used to (ie hole in the end), but I don't think it's a big deal to mod a normal brush.

I would also consider using epoxy, etc, instead of the cable ties, although I really like cable ties.

The clever thing for me was putting the switch in a position to automatically change direction.

the brushes must be bigger than toothbrushes. but yah, the bit with the switch was pretty neat, caught my eye a month or so ago when it first made its rounds.
