should pass through the plate on the end of the stator tube and somehow thread into the holes in the copper ring. (Those holes and the three smaller holes on the plate were apparently designed to slip over locator pins which were present on some units, though
not mine.). In any case after a lot of good and patient advice from folks over on this list and the AH Experience site I finally saw the error of my ways, removed the three screws and passed them through the countersunk holes on the plate and into the trafficator. </span></li><li><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<div>First, I fat fingered my response, the screws are no. 5 BA. See attached.

<div>Second, there should be absolutely no need for alignment pins. </div>

<div>Just use the correct three countersunk holes in the stator tube, get one started, center the switch on the plate, and the rest will follow.</div>

<div>Would it be possible to use some temporary, low tack glue (such as common glue stick) to adhere the thin copper or brass piece in place while you are assembling the assembly?</div>
<div>Would it also help to only use 1 #4BA counter sunk screw & 2 longer, thinner, non-threaded, temporary "pins" to assist in alignment? The "pins" would be removed after you get one #4BA screw started enough that it would stay in place.</div>
