Headlight Question
I have a HEADLIGHT That is not going up and down as it should and the motor runs with no movement part of the time.
I understand that the gear is probably shot and intend to order the newer Brass replacements soon.
Have a question tho.
Is the gear on the motor itself also Plastic (NYLON) or is it Brass? If plastic - does it need replacing too?
Thanks,
Phil

The BRASS GEARS sold by MID AM and others don't indicate a 2 gear (Big and Small) set, only the one big one.
So again - Is the small gear also NYLON or METAL??
