We actually melted the plastic housing around the contacts and inserted a new piece of metal to add a contact point. Not exactly the best plan, but it actually works.

Let the chastising remarks commence now.

I do believe melting the motor housing is technically illegal, but depending on the extent to which it was done, a regional inspector might allow it if the motor is functionally unchanged and uncompromised electrically or from the standpoint of safety. If you go to worlds, the inspectors will likely be more strict.
