Dear Lew,
Re the last e mail - I went down to dig out the original 1935 firewall and
realisation dawned!
The plastic plate fits BETWEEN the junction box and the firewall. That
solved ANOTHER mystery I had been puzzling over - namely, how do you stop
the 2 resistors from the (antique) 3-brush system which sit within the
junction box from shorting out against the metal of the firewall - answer -
the plastic diagram card insulates them!
It also resolved yet ANOTHER query - which way up does the Junction Box go?
Answer: With the cut-out at the bottom and fusebox at the top. That at
least is what the card would suggest!
What say you?
Regards
Dick Morbey
