You might try your local electric/air tool repair shop.
I found a set of Bosch replacement motor brushes for my '92 there, but I had to sand them down with an emery cloth before they would seat properly in the armature holders.
I paid $8.70 for 1 set of motor brushes. The Bosch part number is 3604321509 if that helps.

I order a set from Eckler and received enough for one headlight so I went to Autozone with the bushings and look at the nylon bushing under the windows repair section they r the one ford uses. Make sure u clean out all of the old bushing b4 installing them. Hope this is helpful

Early and late motors are completely different. There are no replacement parts available for the early motors. The brushes are part of the brush and limit switch assembly. The contacts and brushes are kind of like the old style points and how they attached to the arm. Some kind of cad welding or something. If this module was available, a lot of motors could be easily repaired. I don't know why someone hasn't done it yet. Maybe it's not cost effective. Anyway, try to find a used motor and salvage the parts. That's what all the rebuilders do. They make one out of several.
