My business is for sale:
9-10-24: I am still in business and this item is still in stock.
Replacement brushes for the 84-87 Corvette headlight motors with three wires.
These are to replace the brushes on the 84-86 Fiero and 82-86 Firebird. I find they also fit the 84-87 Corvette headlight motors. If you have 3 wires on your headlight motors these will fit.
Use electrically conductive glue and glue them on the arms of the brush/contact assembly.
These are about 100% larger so there is more surface for the glue to adhere to. Their size is 0.185" x 0.330" or 4.8 mm x 8.4 mm.
There is a guy on eBay that sells the electrical glue. This is his eBay name:

I now have in stock some electrically conductive 2 part adhesive.
Someone posted they tried it and liked it. The instructions tell you to burst the center seal mix the whole bag. This can make replacing all 4 brushes at one time difficult. Possibly you can cut the corners of the bags and squeeze out some of each of the material. I say that because if you want to do all four brushes at once you have to lay the contacts down and the brushes may not stay in place. See my tips below.
A note on this adhesive:
The silver part is much larger than the clear liquid part. The clear liquid part is also very low viscosity like water. My suggestion is to use a plastic surface on a very level surface to mix it. Cut of a small amount of one corner of the clear liquid end and put an equal amount of drops in 2 piles. Do the same for the silver material. Mix one batch and do 2 brushes. Lay the brush/contact so the brush arm is level lays on top of the arm. Apply some of the adhesive and set the brush on the arm. Clamping it, in my opinion, pushes all the glue out. When cured mix the second batch and do the other 2 brushes.
Stan Miller says this about removing the old brushes: I will use a razor blade to remove as much as I can then use 220 sandpaper to remove what is left. The soft carbon will sand off pretty easily.
$9.98 for a set of 4 brushes. This is enough to do both headlight motors. Each motor uses 2 brushes.
$19.50 per glue packet.
Core requests: Stan Miller rebuilds many headlight motors. Stan has a hard time finding cores. If you have any old headlight motors or parets of headlight motors you do not need Stan will buy them from you. Contact Stan Miller at: stan8t8gt@aol.com

SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
