Presumably it's even more important to run the crystals the right way in this sort of DC configurations than with (AC) speaker cables. And don't forget the low-oxygen metal. Jonathan
-
Why do you want to solder rather than only crimp? What metal cable are you planning... aluminium? Would that be light enough? :-) Jonathan PS: I'd buy ready-made or borrow a heavy-duty crimper... or ask an owner nicely.

... when I get my car back I will be able to check the diameters , she is away having the engine rebuilt. I was wondering about the reticence to get the ruler out! :-) Jonathan
-
That's clever. Jonathan
-
New or preloved? Can you add a photo and the resistance to earth? I guess you'd have to check that the two senders/ oil sender and gauge are compatible. Any serial numbers on the bit around the spade terminal? Jonathan
-
Has anyone found a source of heated glass to fit? I wouldn't expect isopropyl alcohol to stop misting. It's a useful degreaser and cleaner but it evaporates quickly. Could I persuade you to do half of of it (in stripes?) and photograph the effect? Jonathan PS: There are several approaches to antimist treatment: The one most of us use leaves a thin layer of lipid. Potatoes are also available.

Dry sump help/ part identification needed - With extra questions
Jonathan Kay replied to Superwhite R283's topic in TechTalk
Jonathan -
Please can you measure and add a photo? Jonathan
-
What model, engine, year and dash? Please send me a Private Mail with your email address. Jonathan
-
52mm diameter? White on black? Jonathan
-
You can get dual gauges, I think both oil pressure + temperature and oil + water temperature. Which suppliers have you searched already? Jonathan
-
Let me know if you'd like a wiring diagram. Jonathan

Speedo Drive - Electronic 2002 car - Now sorted and almost fitted
Jonathan Kay replied to micksmetafors's topic in For Sale
I think that someone identified it beyond the Caterham parts number... possibly a Ford part. It should be in the archives. Jonathan -
Probably, but I don't like the different current capacities of the two USB sockets, especially in a dark place and working by feel... Jonathan
-
I assume you're doing them all at once... Speedometer calibration, appearance, fuel consumption... Considering a different set for winter? Jonathan
-
Fascinating. Thanks Jonathan
-
Thanks... look forward to hearing how they turn out. Jonathan
-
What was it like when you tried to spin a road wheel rather than the disc? Jonathan
-
That's neat. If I were fitting an accessory socket now I think I'd use both "cigar lighter" and USB sockets, rather than trying to remember the adaptor. Jonathan
-
Got it, thanks. But does that legal problem matter for an individual who is calibrating accurately as opposed to a commercial mass supplier? Jonathan PS: I have a very low opinion of the ergonomics of most speedometers... but I may have mentioned that before... :-)
-
Re accuracy, you can tune these electronic jobbies for either speed or trip mileage. I don't understand that. If you can measure elapsed time accurately why is it one or the other? The only factor I can think of is large amounts of spinning or locking the wheels... Jonathan
-
Glad it's sorted, but why not set it spot-on? Jonathan
-
Depending on what gear you're connecting... watch out for those current capacities... Jonathan
-
Thanks, Shaun. (i'd guessed that!) Jonathan

Not quite a direct answer but these threads might help: 1, 2. Jonathan
