Default C4 Headlight Stops Shims

HELP!

So I bought my daughter a 94 Vette for her graduation gift. It's in good shape but one of the headlight motors wasn't working. Ordered a new motor and began removing the old one. Then I noticed the headlight motor stop and shims were missing. I can't seem to find a part number or source anywhere.

Anyone got some info or a link that might help?

In this image #26 is 16502047 and #27 is 16503177 I believe. A bumper and a stop. I'm not familiar with any shims. You could maybe point them out in the image?

Take those #'s to a dealer and maybe there's stock on a shelf somewhere near you. Use the image to maybe ID what you want and work with some Corvette salvage yards OR post in the WTB/FOR SALE section.

Contact "See4Parts" who should have many items in the WTB/FOR SALE section. He could maybe help.

Unfortunately they are not. They are part of 31. The stop goes around the shaft and is kinda T shaped and the shims look like little metal O rings.


If you look at the video above at about 5:26 you get a good shot of them. From right to left you are looking at the motor, bracket, stop(shims cant be seen), block with the pin that goes over the motor shaft, then a piece of bracket again. That stop hits the protrusion on the bracket to stop the motor from going any further.

To further complicate things I did get the assembly put back together(without the stop for now) with the new motor. That side still does not work. I checked the voltage on the plug and it doesn't change when you flip the switch. I assume there is a control module somewhere for this and will be checking it out.
