I was lucky enough to snag a Michell stylus brush for a cheap price lately. It was missing the label, had some corrosion on the brush insert, and had some oxidation on the top side, which might be why the audiofiles didn't snatch it first. None of those problems are of any concern for its use a BF prop, though.

So I had to revisit my shin tools to incorporate this. The anti-security vibro blade or some such nonsense name? I forget exactly. [/google]. Yes. Anti-security blade.
So for this shin tool I have the Mojofett stylus brush replicas attached to the Paterson squeegee leftover part with gaffer tape...

The Mojofett replicas both have the second topside hole, but occurred to me while doing this and discussing it with [USER=4118]intwenothor[/USER], only the outside brush would actually have the extra hole, because the prop guys had to drill that hole to make them join in their offset manner. They wouldn't need to drill the hole into the one on the inside. So if I ever get a second one of these, it means drilling a hole through it.

the screw or nail that goes through them is a bit of a mystery to me. I've only seen exhibit photos of it. Looks like a tiny copper colored thing. I tried different screws. The ones that fit the threads of the holes have heads that are obviously too big. A nail might be the right thing to use. For now, I put in an undersized countersunk brass screw.

I switched to electrical tape to try it out instead of the gaffer tape. After trying both, I think the electrical tape is correct. Throw a little rust on and done.
