    OP
    Quoted from vid1900:

    There is usually a little piece of rubber or vinyl insulation that keeps the lamp from shorting against the bracket. You can reuse this, or use a piece of shrink tubing or even aquarium air line.
    [quoted image]

    On my Scared Stiff the insulate tubing seems to only be on the “driven lead” (black+*) which is connected back to the board which grounds rather than the common +ve lead (red+white)....

    I was just wondering why only one lead? Surely either can short?

    If rebuilding would you add shrink tubing to both leads?

    Thanks

    Jason
