Headlight problem

Hi Steve!
Perfect. Thanks a lot.
Of course, now I’m terrified to open them. Looks like something from the borg.
I hope it’s easier than it looks 😊
Cheers
James

Gentlemen!
I had a spare motor, so I thought I‘d try working on that.
The business end of the Motor was dipped in a rubber compound, so it did take a knife to free the bolt heads before they could be loosened.
Inside, the old grease was just like wax, but the contacts on the wheel and the Pickups looked ok.
Cleaned and fresh grease. Resealed with “Amazing Goop“
Tested direct to battery. Runs constantly but that’s to be expected.
Was pleasantly surprised by construction of the motor itself. I was expecting more plastic. Housing is brass or similar, oilite bushings ... big nylon gear. Better than I thought for the 90s.
Cheers
James
