Antoine, you will have to take your Electrolux into a vacuum shop & have them install a Ametek motor. There are certain Ametek motors that vac shops can get that come with the mounting ring & seal.

Antoine, if you install a Electrolux AP Series motor, that would be a good option. If you do this, make sure you order a new set of carbon brushes for the motor & install them prior to installing the motor in your 86. However, if I had to choose between investing in a used AP series motor & a new Ametek motor, I would choose the Ametek motor. Why? Because the AP series motor could be anywhere between 31 & 41 years old. Just better not to take a chance on a motor that could be near the end of it's life.
If you do decide to consult a local shop & have a Ametek motor installed, a word of advice: Make sure the new motor draws less than 8 amps of power. This is CRUCIAL & very important! Our local vac shop, years ago, told me a horror story of how he installed a Domel 12 amp motor in a 89, & he wound up frying the customer's wiring & switch. Unfortunately, 8 amps is all the 80 series canister's power switch can handle. Also, if the shop can order the motor mount separately, ask them to install a Filter Queen single speed motor used in the Canadian Model 700....it only draws 6 amps of power & pulls 80" waterlift, same waterlift your 86 motor produces right now. If you want something with more power, a Ametek 116311 7.5 amp TriStar single speed motor can also work too....I have used it in the past with great results....and it pulls 90" waterlift, so about the same a new Aerus canister today produces.
Good luck repairing your Electrolux 86....

Antoine, I was able to find the motor mounting plate for you. I will link it below for you. It is available thru Tip Top Parts, so as long as you can find a local vac shop that deals with that distribution company, you are all set. When you place the order with your local shop, make sure that they include the foam rubber seal as well. Now, when you install the motor, put the motor in thru the bag compartment, & make sure the foam rubber seal is DIRECTLY BEHIND THE MOTOR'S FAN HOUSING. You want it on the bag compartment side. Then, your motor mounting plate attaches to the holes on the motor to mount it, & you mount the motor mounting plate to the vacuum itself on the motor compartment side.
There is also a Ametek motor that is available with this bracket, & it is designed to fit the AP100 to 2100. It would work in this situation, but problem is although they say on the website it has the same waterlift as a TriStar motor, they don't specify the amps, so check that out before ordering it.
