[QUOTE="Buster, post: 123340, member: 4406"] For me the disassembly was easy, as effectively this was already done. The Bakelite disk carrying the terminals was effectively damaged, by the previous owner I might add; so once the three Black plastic discs were gently prised out, the thicker tougher bakelite disc just came away as it was split down the middle. This is why it didn't work. Suspect the original manufacturing route was to crimp the outer rimmed retention lip, post insertion of the Terminal pad. To open this out and repeat / reverse the process would now require a special expanding mandrel. Hence my proposal to make a tight fitting replica disc and bond it in place, both effecting a seal and locking it in situ. Is there anyone out there that has some tooling to do this as per original method ? Dave. [/QUOTE]
