Disasembly of Space Ship Stern Light

Post by cirwin1 » Mon Oct 13, 2014 10:34 am

I need to re-chrome the stern light on my 1967 Super Sport. The wiring needs to be removed to do the plating and I can't figure out how to get the connector plug out of the bottom of the shaft. Has anyone done this?

There are 2 wires running through the pole.
1) Soldered connection to the pole (pink circle)
2) Soldered to the center of the brass tube (terminal)

The green circle is where a plastic pin that passes through the pole and the center terminal, locking the pieces together.

You will need to heat the soldered connections with a torch to release the wires. Use a nail set to tap out the plastic pin. Use a wooden dowel to tap out the terminal from the other end of the pole.

Don't worry if you break any wires. Just replace them when reassembling.

I made a new terminal assembly using a nylon bushing and brass tube.

Chad,
