What an amazing world we live in. Ten days ago and from a distance of 7,654 miles away ( I really looked it up )
I ordered my rectifier from an EBay seller with the product coming from China. Today it was delivered to my mailbox for the princely sum of $4.70. If a certain man in the White House gets his way it'll probably be $34.70
soon.
It's a sleek little unit, I really should've ordered two of them at that price, just for the sake of redundancy.
Mr. 5Twins sir, you wouldn't happen to have any detailed photos of this unit all mounted up would you? I think I've seen a photo of a bracket you made once, but I don't think I've seen it actually installed. Just curious, you do some tidy engineering, always happy to poach your ideas! Haha
So I have next weekends project all lined up now.
On another note, I ordered my Pamco H.O. unit , that will also be here before the weekend. Quite frankly I may have gotten a little ahead of myself here, I'm so excited about having that particular upgrade, but I need to get things in order first.
1. Make sure it's charging properly
2. Run through all the tuning rituals, I should get it running decent before installing the Pamco.
3. The last time I had it running it had an intake air leak somewhere. To try and remedy that I pulled the carbs off and checked to make sure that all the screws were tightened and had a good look at my carb mounts, which happily look pretty good. I also made sure they were securely tightened. I followed Retired Gentlemans advice and smeared dielectric grease on the inside of the carb mounts and I have to say they went back in so much nicer. I also replaced the worn Philips head screws that were on the carb mount clamps with stainless steel Allen head screws so I can really torque them down. This is all minor stuff, but I hope it makes a difference.
So hopefully if life doesn't get in the way, I will know by the end of the weekend if I am on the right track getting my charging system going.
We shall see
