Headlight motor brushes and interal switch

Anyone know if anyone still supplies these or where re-conditioners source there parts, ive got a set where the copper spring contact contacts have perished and looking to find replacements so my motors work again, here's what im talking about:

Whole unit would be a bonus as the motors themselves are all fine.

Cheers

An electric motor rebuilding shop can replace those.

I’ve never used an outside repair service, however someone I spoke to said in England there is one on 36 Tennant Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian EH6 5NA 0131 553 1628‎.

Across the pond I pass by this one while driving:

Mooresville Electric Motor Services
110 Fernwood Lane, Mooresville, NC 28117 (704) 663-0405

Ask them some questions on the phone to see if they can handle the job.

Also, maybe someone will chime in that has used similar services with a first hand recommendation.

Good Luck, and keep the pedal to the metal.


Happy Racing!
