Harbor Freight sells sets with long handles
also, you can go to any sporting goods (hunting) store.... bore brushes
and cleaning rods for various caliper rifles and shotguns will get you
just about every size needed.

Standard Vanguard engine for a 1953 Morgan Plus 4. The
connecting rods have been laying on a shed floor for
decades. They cleaned up nicely, but the oiling hole
through the connecting rod to the small end bushings were
all rusted solid. I made a tool out of a piece of 1/8
brass welding rod. I pounded the end flat, like a
screwdriver, and pounded it in while turning with a small
Vise-grips. It got the hole opened and rust poured out.
The hole is about 0.180? diameter. I?ve been trying to
find a long 3/16ths tube brush (like a pipe cleaner) to
clean them out better, but no one makes one long enough.
The brush needs to be about 5? long and the longest that
McMaster Carr has is 3?. I could pull the small end
bushings out and go at it from both ends, but the bushings
in there fit the wrist pins perfectly and I would rather
not mess them up if I can help it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
