Default Clock Hands reinstall.

1971 clock. Any suggestions for reinstall my clock hands. They came off when I was talking the clock apart to repair. I didn’t need to remove the cover plate with the hands. Fixed points and oiled the gears Seems to work okay. The other question is the opening and closing point equal to 6o seconds.
thanks

Thanks didn’t realize they go on so easy. Unfortunately the coil burned up on me l left the battery charger on the coil for too long. it was set to two amps. I guess that was too much current. So now I have to change the coil and contact points. Not sure if I can replace the contact points. Any ideas. Thanks.
