Default headlight motor

my right headlight seldom works.I took it apart and the bushings were ok but changed the gear and bushings anyway.I suspect the motor has dead spots which is why the motor seldom worksWhere is best place to get replacement motor and how much they going for?
I just recently bought this 89 vert and I sure do like it.

I would try to rebuild the motor before I bought one, The motors are very exspensive. I am sure an alternator shop may want to try to rebuild it for you.

Where did you order the rebuild kit at? What does it consist of? I know about the replacement gear but didn't know about the rebuild kit.

Thanks,
