Permanent magnet replacement for 237560 for MA 3366 (E52)

I'm working on digitizing my 3366 E52. I was using the 60901 kit, but I have a problem. Despite the fact that the permanent magnet is a perfect fit when attaching it to the wheel unit, it's too wide to fit when placing the wheel unit back into the housing. I need a thinner permanent magnet unit so it fits in the shell. Any suggestions for a proper permanent magnet or has anyone successfully digitized the 3366?

Have a look at this & decide which one is closest to what you want: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ausw...:mDA6JGIyMWAkEkoqNlFBHRAYou will need to use your old brush plate, armature & screws. I think #51961 is what you are looking for. On the Dutch forum "3railforum" mention is also made of having to grind the permanent magnet down to fit. Dave... Edited by user 13 May 2020 06:58:03(UTC)

I think those are intended for use with the existing 3 pole armature, but may be the only option if grinding down the magnet from the 60901 kit isn't an option. One other hint - try rotating the 60901 magnet 180 degrees and see if it fits better.

In the situation where a magnet is too wide to fit when replacing the cover back on, I have resorted to stripping off 1 or 2 layers of the permanent magnet. You must be careful to lift a sheet off gently, in case you find that you need to replace it back again. Regards John

Yes you are correct. I figured that this is what I'd be doing. I was going to mill the chassis, but this is a better solution. Originally Posted by: ktsolias
