    Anyone know this build?

    I ran across this while surfing (recovering from surgery doesn't leave you much else to do), and while I would have done a few things a bit differently, I love the thing. Whoever built this put a lot of thought and effort into making a clean, useable ride. I'd love to find more info on it.

    I purchased a NOS brush plate and armature for my project, and I noted that the brush plate has holes for a second set of brushes. Has anyone successfully added (or experimented with adding) the second set of brushes?
