Reply to "Lionel 1122E Switch short"

Rob, so I am trying to verify where the tape should go.  My apologies for mistakenly placing the tape on the truck frame, hope you got a chuckle on my expense. Did you mean spot 1 circled in yellow or spot blue 2, at the top of the rivet? The last photo does show the bottom of the rivet where the roller may be hitting when the spring is compressed.

Scott, I think Rob is talking about where the red arrow is in this picture indicates the travel of the collector assembly; where the collector assembly can be pushed up into the upper part of the truck frame, above where the rivet attaches the wire to the top of the collector bracket. I would think that tape on the bottom of the tang should prevent grounding the hot wire to the truck common (unless there is some other possible path for shorting).

@ADCX Rob Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding your intent.
