Ah yes, these have 3 terminals, yes? Battery “Gage” and coil.
Gage is hot “in”which should be from ammeter. Coil is just that, power to coil or coils when switched on.
I welded some shims up in there. I think I used a couple inches of the ends of a leaf on each side.

What was it before disassembly?
Gas those ends and bend the spindle arms instead.
I’ve done it. Worked for a while then smoked the armature.
@Speedy Canuck exactly the photo I was referring to.
