Step 1 - Apply a tiny
amount of flux paste to the end of the spring.....
Step 2 - Wipe away
excess flux.....
Step 3 - And tin with
solder.
Step 4 - Slide
the copper pin through the spring and solder them
together using a pin vice. Be very careful NOT
to use too much solder.
Step 5 - A
bullet proof pin and spring.
Step 6 - Slide
the pin into the threaded part of the heat sink and add spacers.
Step 7 - Install
brush and shunt assembly into the brush barrel.Tighten with small needle nose pliers.
Step 8 - Attach shunt wire to the pin, allowing approx. .050 clearance between the
wire and heat sink for brush wear.
Remove excess pin.Again, TINY amounts of flux go
a long way.
Step 9 - IMPORTANT:
Place the car on a piece of track with rail. The rail acts as a heat sink
when soldering to the shoes.Shape the shunt wire, cut to length, and solder to the shoe.
Step 10 - Make
sure the shunt wire clears all metal parts that may cause a short
including the front axle.
Make sure the shoes have sufficient up and down
movement. On my car I use the chassis side rail as a stopper.Time to go race, happy hunting.
