Hoover 618 - Brush strips??

[vacuumfreak]

May be a long shot, but wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where I could find replacement bristle strips for my Canadian Hoover model 618 brushroll. I’d assume it’s identical to the American 61 models. Attached a few photos, the part numbers stamped on them are 700885 and 700886.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it

Fairly sure they are the same brushes used on the Australian and Great Britain models 612 and 912.
Recently saw them on eBay from the UK.

Dan, I would check out Ebay. I picked up a few sets of brush strips for my Hoover Celebrity powerheads there this year. There are a few sets of Hoover Convertible brush strips on right now, I would think it should be easy to modify those to work with your Hoover 618.

Thank you both, I will have to keep an eye out on eBay for a set. I appreciate the feedback!

Actually the part numbers I gave are from the October 1st 1947 Hoover Price list of parts.
