Is it just me or do the new all plastic Sanitaire motors smell 'funny' for lack of a better term after running for a bit?

I recently acquired a Eureka 2118 with the upside down ESP motor. While I had it apart for cleaning I noticed that 2 of the insulators between the bars on the armature had come loose and were poking up towards the cooling fan. What is a suitable adhesive to glue them back in place? I know these...

Has anyone ever come across a spray paint colour which is a good match for the brandywine colour on a Eureka? I refurbed a 2087 ESP and it really could use a fresh coat of paint on the hood for that final touch. Or does anyone know if it's possible to have a can of spray paint custom mixed?

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a new hood for a Eureka 1489a upright? The part # is E-539744. I've tried Hesco and they were unable to order it as it has been discontinued. Google was fruitless. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Can anyone tell me how I go about replacing the motor brushes on a Decade 80? I recently acquired one through eBay and figured I might as well replace them while I have the machine apart. Thanks in advance.

How do I remove the armature on a U4423 Convertible so that I can grease the bottom bearing? I thought that it simply pulled out once the fan was removed and with the top bearing taken off as well but it seems fairly well stuck in there. Also, does the top bearing need any sort of grease or...
