Hi folks , The points inside my left front C4 headlight are scorched
I naturally filed them to clean them up a bit with temporary success

There are actually 3 points in one electric motor housing unit

the gears are just fine and I replaced all three relays including a new master light switch

I can hear slight repeat clicking of the point sets but it's a no go

I cannot locate these points ... can anyone help me source these

the dealer does not carry them

help please
Cheers

If you're talking about the brushes, go to a hobby shop, buy some that are close in size and file to fit.

GT2Race

the brushes are fine ... talking points here

and yes ... I have replaced brushes for other tools and just filed them to fit

The direction reversing contacts are part of the housing. I don't think it would be possible to find replacements except in a used motor.

GT2Race

The 3 points are 1 small unit and they do come out of the housing

however

I think that you are correct ... I will probably have to settle for a complete used setup

cheers

Here is a picture of an 84 headlight motor showing what Cliff and I assumed you meant by points. These contacts open when the rotation of the unit hits a stop and shifts the armature to open one of them.
Where are you getting your three points that are removable??

Mine are riveted into the motor housing (1986):

I have the headlight motors from my 85 that I do not need. I don't know enough about them to be comfortable selling them to you but you can have them if you want them. Just pay for shipping from Marysville CA.

GT2Race

Yes , your offer is very gracious
I certainly can use at least 1 unit

let me know how we can do this
I will send you a private message with my details

super thanks

My gears were fine too but the three pucks in there were dust got new gears and pucks of ebay

GT2Race

oh yeah , mine are a bit smaller than the puck housings also

thanks for that and I will try E-Play to pick up some for my 84 units

GT2Race

Yup , thats an excellent idea and have sanded a few brush sets to fit other electric tools like my old Rockwell grinder / buffer

I sent you a private message with my personal info ...
several days ago ... let me know about those point sets if your still willing to let them go
I definitely could use them
God bless
cheers
