Also, be careful using rubber as an alt terminal insulator as the original one is made from Bakelite or fiberglass and doesn't compress like rubber to maintain clearance to the case. |
Rubber squeeze WAS a concern there Franke, but it's tight enough in the opening so the shank is ok. The bolt head with half a grommet is tentative; probably go with a whole one instead there...
Just saw the opening in the case rear for the tool Jxxxx
, for the brush retension @ assembly. Wondered about that as I went...
