Almost - almost - a complete kit

February 07, 2018|JohnnyG, Massachusetts

The part itself was fine, but it had different connectors (one male spade, one female spade) from the original ( two male spades). The part came with two female spade connectors, which were of absolutely no help. A male spade would have been nice. And no screws. Glad I saved the old ones. The repair was trivial, but required a trip to the hardware store.
