The brushes on the motor on my Black & Decker GT535 hedge trimmer are
dying judging by the sound of arcing coming from it.

Anyone care to recommend a suitable replacement if I'm unable to get
replacement brushes?

You can get replacements OK.

Thank you!

I presume that '41 - spring brush' is there to hold the brush in and I
won't need it unless the original is damaged?

It is not normal to need new springs unless the running which short
brushes has cause over heating in which case the spring will have weakened.
To be honest unless cash is really tight, it is little extra cost
(£1.96) to fit new ones and then you can be sure.
