Hello , I have a Lionel 259 the brass lugs pressed into the steel frame have become loose allowing the brush plate to shift. The motor will run fine in reverse when the plate is being torqued up , but when its going foward the brass lugs get pulled down and the brush holders rub on the comutator. Does anyone have a way to tighten the brass lugs holding the brush plate short of taking the whole frame apart. Presently I have a razor blade shim holding the lugs in place so it does not shift. Thanks for any Ideas
