Many Thanks again Chas, for all the help and the needed part.  Is a private message different than an email in this forum as I have not received any further emails from you?

And as mentioned before - I will make sure to list all my extra parts after the project is complete in case you or anyone else needs one of them.  Your member list here is a great group of guys, glad to be a part of it!

Chas,

Another question.  When I build the wiring harness should I place the fuse before or after the relay and what size fuse should be used?

chas,

I emailed you a pdf of my planned wiring setup.  Hopefully when the pdf is complete and finished, it will be a good resource for others that need to replace all factory wiring.

Chas,

I just received the armature!!!  wow...  that is what this unit is suppose to look like?  Chas, it's a thing of beauty...  Is there a certain way I should put it back together.  I am going to take this one slow to make sure we can get her back up and running the right way!

Adam

That's great I was getting a bit worried..

What I can do is to make a small video on how to build the motor back up..in the mean time can you make sure that you have some grease and that the threads on the two long bolts are clean and a little greased ,and the rest of the parts are clean free from dirt and rust .
Also did you say that the brushes have been taken out ........????
Will get back to you ASAP all the best Chas ps don't forget the large thin bearing in the gearbox check that is turning free .
