Hi Guys
I recently refurbished my Hoover Constellation. It went well, apart from an issue I had with the motor. I drilled out the rivets holding the fancase bearing in place thinking they were normal bearings, but their not. They are long, tubular ones, which I have no idea what their called. Does anyone know what rivets I am on about, and where to get them from?
I've upgraded the motor for now, but kept the motor incase the fixings can be sourced, and the motor can just be re-fitted. I had to spray the bottom skirt quickly to make it useable, when the weather is nicer/I have more time I'll remove the rust properly and get some proper coloured spray paint. I've posted the afters here, but not having the pictures appear in line with the text makes writing a thread on here a bit rubbish
Refurb thread linked to below, hope you enjoy!
