With a fairly slow start to winter it was mid February before I got around to installing the Winter 13" plastic tracks on Project 6x6, but with a 50cm major storm coming I wanted to be ready!

After a quick test ride around the backyard, I found the headlights were blinking when going over rough terrain.

The fix was simple, the old fashioned brass contacts had a very minute layer of corrosion, so they were cleaned with 800 grit sandpaper, re-coated in dielectric grease and the switch reassembled. The lights now work as good as new, there's something to be said for old technology that can be quickly repaired instead of being tossed and replaced!

Last item before the first winter rip was the canopy & windshield.
