Nylon looks good. I'd test for interest as a Bulk Buy... but could you face including the fasteners? Jonathan
-
I was also wondering what tools do most people carry in case of the event of an emergency fix (for an imperial chassis if that makes much difference)? There's lots on this in the archives. Ranges from a credit card and 'phone to a DIY RAC van. Open to other tool carrying / storage suggestions too! Replacement cables strapped to frame tubes. Jack and wrench in front of heater: mine are secured with rubber well nuts. Jonathan
-
I was wondering where I could get one of these tool tubes... Put a request in the Bulk Buy thread. :-) Jonathan
-
Have you still got the old one? M12, unless it's M8, except for early 1.4s? Discussion of species of seals. Jonathan

Central register of 7 equipment available for loan to members
Jonathan Kay replied to John Vine's topic in TechTalk
There's a set of corner weight scales for sale. Can anyone work out a model for buying these and lending them as they're needed? Thanks Jonathan -
The bulb is "H4". Is that what you need or do you mean the lamp unit? Jonathan
-
Yes. I think I might have finally accumulated all of the Assembly Guides and Owners Manuals that ever were. Thanks to all contributors. Shaun's offered to serve them all here and the delay is entirely down to me trying to sort them out. This is harder than than you might think as the version control, dates of relevance, model applicability etc aren't explicit. Jonathan

Original electrical sender and gauge? Jonathan
-
Glad it's fixed. Presumably this was before you'd tested any instruments etc that use the same earth. ... I am at a loss... I'd now disconnect, inspect, clean and reconnect that instrument earth and its eventual connection to the battery. Jonathan PS: I'm kicking myself on this. I got to the engine earth but not that. Doh! PPS: Andrew can probably calculate the impedance or charge density or something of the instruments from the rating of the fuse that blew! :-)

Send me a Private Mail with your email address and the year and model. Jonathan

Now is the winter of our discount tent? Jonathan
-
The current Caterham diagrams show the connection pattern on connectors, as described by John. But not the terminal numbers. Jonathan
-
I don't know, and the terminals aren't identified that way on the factory wiring diagrams that I have with me. This discussion agrees with you. (Ignore the recalibration gadget.) Jonathan PS: Would you like the diagrams?
-
Have you chosen where to take it? I'd pop in and have a chat first. Jonathan
-
Thanks for the update. According to the diagram you should have an oil pressure warning light with a separate sensor and a White/Brown wire. Jonathan
-
... Green, Black and White/Green (rather than Green/White)? Jonathan
-
I haven't filled the oil filter, no. I'll see if it will come off easily. Good move. I was surprised by Andrew's comments, but the advice is obviously pragmatic and he's started a lot more new or rebuilt engines than me. My K fired immediately and the oil pressure was up by the time I'd looked. Jonathan
-
I've checked the wiring diagrams. Can't match those wiring colours: have you been able to? Jonathan
-
Are you turning it over with it prevented from firing? I'd put my money on a faulty sensor or bad connection. Not quite sure what you've done in the first of those two tests... How many wires go to the sensor (as in Ian's post)? Have you checked your engine earths? (Might not be relevant depending on above.) What's the resistance across the sensor terminals with all wires disconnected both at rest and while cranking?Hope they send you another quickly. Jonathan
-
Is it a simple "torque to defined torque limit" method? I very much doubt that there is. Or that anyone has done the experiment! Jonathan
-
I can get it from near Oxford to near Lymington this weekend, and possibly in the future. And from Church Stretton in the next few months. Jonathan
-
Sorry, another K-series cooling worry/paranoia - SORTED
Jonathan Kay replied to Smithy77's topic in TechTalk
Well done, as indeed you would be. :-) Jonathan -
I can do from near Oxford to Lymington this weekend. ? Worth putting this in GONADS as well? Jonathan
-
It doesn't get offended so easily in Normal? Jonathan
