Headlight Motor

Does anyone know where to get a passenger side headlight motor for my 85 TA other than GM, Because they are 350 bucks there and i was thinking i would look around first for a better price before i ordered one. Any ideas?

Why don't you fix it? It's really not that hard to do. There's some kind of tech article on someone's site that I found after I fixed mine. They work like a charm now and it didn't cost me a penny. Just a dow rod I had laying around. If you wouldn't live all the way in Canada I'd gladly fix it for you for free, lol.

Why don't you try a junkyard? I had a headlight motor go once and I went and got one off of a 1982 Firebird and now everything works fine, except for my A/C, but that's another story. Thank god for t-tops.

If you still didn't find one, I got 2 spare ones lying around somewhere in the pile of crap I call a basement, make me an offer and I'll dig em out and make sure they work. maksik7@mailcity.com
