If the 68 is like the 58 there is a slip ring style of brush that runs at
the back of the clutch/pulley this is the conductor that actuates the clutch
.My brushes had burnt out ,it was a simple enough job to epoxy a pair of new
brushes from a modern electric motor into the unit ,as we have know parts
down here .On that note I have a need for a front of crank shaft seal for
the compressor on my 58 any ideas .A store with a web sit and on line orders
would be nice .It makes things easier for this part of the world .HOPPY
