Getting back to the original subject of the thread 
, I see Scalextric and eyelets mentioned, so I am assuming we are talking about fairly early models - 70s/80s perhaps. One problem I have seen on those is when Easyfit guides were used as replacements for the originals. For some reason, possibly lazy product development, the Easyfit guide has two holes that look like they are for eyelets. But they aren't really deep enough to keep the eyelet in place during use.
Apologies if it is the wire coming out of the eyelet that is your issue, that would be something else entirely, but thought it worth mentioning.
