The sockets in the rear of the car left a lot to be desired as far as conductivity.
The reverse light sockets were easy. I walked into my store and pulled them off the shelf (most jobber stores stock these things and have a Counterman who knows where to grab em from). So those were a fuckin breeze.
As for the stop lights...
They're a little special. Here's the old and the new one I used for parts.
I went to the hardware store and picked up two compression springs that were long enough to trim to do two contacts each.
Trim...
Then..
Fit...
And viola. Good as new.
So, if you didn't see what the blower motor looked like when I pulled it...
First I riveted the brush plate back onto the case.
Lubed the bushing with dry graphite...
Then I buttoned her up and gave her a quick shot of the ol' bomb can.
All cleaned up inside and out.
On the other side of the coin, some things just can't be rebuilt.
I'm going to go have a birthday bran muffin. Check back next week.
