How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Bob Carriere]

...... it gets greasy and oxidizes over the years.......

I have used brake cleaner with a cue tip.....and a lot of patience....... there is also a special solution used by old radio repair shops..... it is intended to remove contamination and oxidation of the older mechanical contact swithces...... camera shops use it to clean the battery contacts on digital cameras......

On you rub brass band..... a wooden pencil that has a hard rubber eraser chucked in a small 1/4 drill will do wonders but some one needs to turn the steering wheel while you polish the brass band........... probably could find an ink eraser at staples that you can punch a 1/4 piece than crazy glue to the end of a wooden dowel.....used in conjunction with the above cleaners it should work. I have done my truck but could probably use another cleaning as the horn does not always work when the steering is pointed straight ahead but works if I wiggle the wheel......

Not sure about the cab 13 but on my cab 11 I need to remove the inside fender........

....and some say the good old days!!!!!!!

Good Luck
