Steering Tiller Handle Rebuild
The Speed Tiller handle was wrapped up in electrical tape the horn button was just hanging out of it. Once we unwrapped it, we found that the original Bakelite handle was broken. We printed a new one in PETG and rewired the horn button.
Controller Cleanup
This is the Motor Controller for the Detroit Electric. There are 10 copper fingers contacts that contact copper plates attached to a drum. The drum is rotated in 5 increments (notches in a semi-arc). This selects which of the five speeds you are using.
