The Lucas C35A dynamos have a bobbin that fits over a peg adjacent to each brush holder to insulate the brush spring and give it tension. They seem to be made out of some early 1930's version of plastic and are very delicate. I've had two disintegrate in the last 12 months, the latest this week.
I imagine they could be replaced with a short length of windscreen washer tube but that, in time, I imagine the tail of the brush spring would work its way through the material. I have some suitable Acetal rod and could turn up some copies in a more modern and robust material but before I do, anyone got any other suggestions of what to use.
