<VV> HRPT

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 I've had enough of them go bad on me, melting being one mode, that whether or not they were 'designed' to do so or not, they DO melt, and with greater frequency than a part like that EVER should. 

And, apparently, GM must've recognized this, as you're using the CB in place of the HRPT! 

This part is troublesome enough, so, use a screw WITH a nut, and the problem will not recur, EVER!

This part was "designed to melt"? I don't think so! I still have the original 
one on my '69 Monza Convert. #5044 with 81,000 miles. My convert. #2891 has the 
power top so it uses 1 side of the top circuit breaker for the junction.
