Headlight motor bushings
Hi!
Repaired my motors a few months ago and one of them isn't popping up now, bushings were made by myself, i put rubber bushings cut from slightly flexible material... probably it's the reason.
So, are these bushings originally made of plastic or rubber?

I just used a couple of brass 3/4" bearings from the hardware store. They've been working like a champ for about twelve years now.
