Y'all be careful drilling out old knots with a forstner bit ... trust me, I know these things. I am restoring an EverReady lucite/black (model number eludes me right now and the brush is at my office) and was using a 7/8" forstner to remove the stub of hair and clean out the space. I wasn't paying as close attention as I should have and managed to drill the opening off center. It likely isn't enough for most to notice, but I know it isn't right! Regardless, I'm going ahead with the restoration. Does anyone know where I can get a 22 mm white boar bristle knot? TGN does not offer any that large.

TGN does have those knots, in fact I have one.

It looks like this one, but says 22mm on the bottom.
A quick measure of mine reads 20mm at the plug.
