Can anybody tell me where these electrical pick ups belong on a 21155 Docksider? This was an inherited project so I didn’t teat it apart and see where they came from.

From your picture I believe those to be the brush springs item 43, these pages from:

Ray, I have one of those Docksiders in my collection. I will look today and see if I can locate it. Do you think it is possible that those brass items could be part of assembly #34?

They look like wheel contact strips, so I think you might be onto something...

No luck finding the Docksider, it was not in one of the storage crates I expected it would be in.
I think you are correct they are probably part of assembly 34. Not sure how they go on though.
The brush springs were still installed so I didn’t have to worry about those.
Those are contact shoes that fit in the bottom plate....between plastic plate and a fiber like gasket......if I remember correctly these two plates are tied together with small rivets .its been years since I messed with mine.....can not remember if the wires are soldered on or not,,,,,,,,,
Thanks guys, I don't have a dockside, I was in error.
