Phil G Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 When I changed my wings to carbon I 'forgot' to fit the indicators.

pugwash Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 That’s interesting. I was supplied with led indicator units for my build. Looks like CC have gone back to ones with bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyedbiker Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Bought from Redline so could be old stock I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Re: crimping tools, I bought a cheapie Laser one off of Amazon (currently retailing at £9.46) and drilled out a couple of rivets to make the jaw narrower and therefore work with AMP / econoseal connectors without destroying them. Works a dream and cost a fraction of the price of the real deal! I have used it on several little wiring projects on the car over the past few years.Glad to have it in my toolbox at that price as it gets pulled out once a year for something or other.

blueyedbiker Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Eventually bought one that Grim Reaper recommended, arrived this morning but not tried it yet, looks as though it'll do the job. If it doesn't work I'm sure my little boy can find a use for it on his Elise (blown, 250+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 One thing to watch out for that I noticed the other day, on the insulated terminals anvils, the yellow and blue dots are in the wrong places, the yellow dot should be on the largest / innermost position to get the most crimping force for the larger yellow terminals.

blueyedbiker Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Got to use it at last and they've spotted the mistake so the dots are correct on mine. Thanks for the tips, having made up the plugs I'll start a new thread with a few observations.John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
