It is a classic line from the movie the Cone Heads. Remember the scene at the repair garage?

Never saw it Joe.....must have been drivin a truck movin a drilling rig or sumpin....

Connie: How can it take so long to do a simple alignment on an american sedan with standard rack-and-pinion steering and MacPherson struts When your garage is equipped with the proper Borg-Warner digital hydraulic radiometer?

Ronnie: Maybe because I was out back finishing a beer.

 

[laatsch55]

Thankls Joe.....makes sense now...

 

[laatsch55]

3 for 3....

 

[laatsch55]

Small snag, had to trim the IEC body....

 

[laatsch55]

All outputs in, didn't have to drill shit. oe they must have got better at that as time went on..

Lee, does it all mean there are actually dimension differences between 700B and 700II?

 

[laatsch55]

There's not supposed to be. This chassis was just built on the wrong day.

 

[laatsch55]

DCP wired in. Working on the new power switch.....requires another hole...as does the new meter range switch....always something...

 

[laatsch55]

That wasn't too bad. The original switches came as a unit. Just had to drill 2 new holes......and 4-40 stainless allen heads took care of the rest.....and had to file a relief for the toggle pin...

 

[laatsch55]

Meter wiring run...

 

[laatsch55]

Przem requsted the meters be disassembled and the inside of the glass cleaned. That has been done and the LED's themselves cleaned along with the red transparent strip between them...

 

[laatsch55]

Meter range switch wired and meter power wires run...

 

[laatsch55]

All we have left is to wire the board in. I'll do that in the morning....

Are these from Ed? They're looking more robust than the original. Lee, do you know maybe the supplier in case of similar replacements?

And your mounting / wiring job looks outstanding as usual !

 

[laatsch55]

Thank you Przem...we try....

Yes, those are the switches from Ed. The power switch is rated for 8 amps, the original was rated for 5. Paralleling the switch will help extend it's life. I have no idea where he got them, methinks he looked far and wide and bought them all when he found them...

 

[laatsch55]

This is looking real good Lee - nice job and good to see you back on the bench. Tight spaces are good for some things but not wiring. Wiring is an art form - one can present an argument for the tight space too.

Yeah - leave it to Przem to leave his nuts on the inside.

Thanks Dennis....what a lot of folks don't realize is just how neat wiring can be....until they've seen some of your work....which, by the way, we haven't seen for at least a year...
