Definitely pressure test it after whatever you do to the tank. You don't want the thing spontaneously combusting because of some pinhole leak after all that work! Love this thread btw, keep up the excellent work!

Mouser.com is an excellent resource anything and everything connector related, especially data sheets. Also whatever connectors you end up going with, make sure they use a standard, easily procurable pin insertion/extraction tool. Not that you'll be de-pinning your connectors a lot, but at least if it uses a standard plastic red/white, you can buy a few dozen and keep them handy.

Offers good vibe resistance to 20G random. Hey just clicked your links, those data sheets are ace! That's a handy site, will keep it in mind for when I need to cross reference some poo poo.

MonkeyNutZ posted:Thanks for the resources guys! I'm spending the next few hours sorting through the old Swift harness and my new universal harness to try and figure out exactly how many and of what gauge wires I need to pass through the firewall. Started with this mess and spend a good half hour trying to untangle it before realizing I was going to start from scratch anyway Time to get your cone on and your coloured markers and highlighters out! Wait... You do have coloured markers and highlighters, right?

MonkeyNutZ posted:Mad with the power of the bending brake I also made this cover for the distributor poking through the firewall, it'll get seamlessly welded in once I drop the engine for the 30th time. It's pretty tight to the plug wires but the motor mounts are nearly solid so they shouldn't be going anywhere. I know you're an engineer, so you won't have thought of this, but I'd like to take this opportunity to pass on some advice and wisdom from the maintenance world: access panel.

MonkeyNutZ posted:Paying someone to refurbish the seats just didn't feel right, glad I did them myself and that everyone likes them as much as I do! How many of them do you need? Seems like something you could rig a up a small jig made from nails in a board and bend some spring wire around. E- like this, only manually. https://i.imgur.com/JOxc3xy.gifv Shouldn't be to bad if you only need like half a dozen. Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 00:17 on May 15, 2018 |
