I really can’t say I know for sure. I just watched how the old ones were in when I removed them and copied that with the new ones. I do remember there is a cardboard ring that was in between them that there is an opening for on each one. Idk if that helps but that all I can remember about the orientation.
Im thinking I’ll be able to start back with some on the water videos really soon. I’m working on getting the new boat set up right now. I’ll definitely have more time to work on videos now that I’m not spending all my time on the house.
Brief suggestion from the archives: when you install brush springs, leave them "locked and loaded" on the outside of the holders, but not in place. Then, as the armature passes the brush on each side, use your pick to slide it into place. That procedure came from your great grandpa when I was about 12 years old. No telling how many cuss words it saved me over all these years 😂
