I have installed the master cylinder and most of the new lines. Its tricky to bend everything correctly. You have to have the lines perfectly aligned with the...
a question about sst brake lines to whoever might know --- brake lines should be double flared - when you try doing this to sst lines they will usually split -...
You don't have to double flair sst lines Dave yingst ________________________________ From: loflyin40@yahoogroups.com [mailto:loflyin40@yahoogroups.com] On ...
Dave - i never heard you didn't need to dbl flare sst -- i guess i really don't know why you would need to dbl flare any of it -- but my question was did i...
I don't know for sure, but if the flare looks good and it not cracked it should be ok (by the way the info on not double flaring stainless steel lines came...
USE OIL....Don't use water, it cools too quick and could then be brittle along the differences between the 2 heat treatments( old and new ) Quick cooling...
You should run the question about how to flare the brake tubing by the manufacturer. They all have web sites and tech help. Be very careful. Frank Hoinsky On...
Dave - maybe you should try it - not sure about the water / oil thing (this is how i was told) but when you heat the sst tube then quench it in water it...
Don - Stainless Steel is notorious for what is called "Work Hardening". As you work the SS it becomes hard and brittle. Then you try to work it more and it...
Yep... KEP is Kennedy. They are basicly the same adapter, to mount a 2800cc Ford Pinto/Capri/Mustang II V6 to a VW trans. They uses a VW clutch or one of the...
Hi Usually with plain steel lines the double flare is used to prevent splitting since the edge of the tube is not stretched as much. I have never tried sst so...
thanks Wayne - i did end up buying the KEP - not exactly sure why - i sort of have this thing about adapters for vw and corvair -- i did pick the kennedy over...
Anyone know which is better 1. To wire the horn with constant ground and hot through the horn button or 2. Wire it like some of the GM vehicles with constant...
John For aftermarket horns follow the wiring diagram.... Yes the relay does do something... The relay carries the heavier amperage required for the horn......
I can add a little to that: The relay for lights is a good idea by manufacturers. Each wire has resistance to it for X length. The longer the wire is the...
I'll second the vote for using a horn relay. The usual horn circuit has a heavy power wire from the electrical source going to the relay, a heavy power wire...
Thank you both. On a metal car with the potential for accidental shorting of the hot wire to the body, I understand the more prudent move would be to limit...
Good discussion - Remember the horn and wiring create an electrical circuit, and all elements of the circuit will carry the same amperage, which is what you...
Figuring out which terminal is which?? Well, in it's relaxed state, the relay will have continuity between the power in terminal and the horn button terminal,...
The most basic relay uses an electro-magnet to throw a switch. The electro-magnet is charged by a very small amount of current and the charge then closes a...
mike-had a 58 tr3 that i never had any of the lucas problems with. added a austin healey electrical overdrive but didn't bother to wire it in per the book so i...
Thanks again for all the help with the horn wiring. Once I can get into the garage again I will try to follow the instructions and determine how the relay is...
OK, I went out into the garage and grabbed a half dozen Corvair horn relays, a 12V power supply, and a volt-ohmmeter. I pretended I didn't already know ...
I agree with bud on limiting your hot wires to only what you need. His method to determine what the tabs are is a good idea if you lost the package or want to...
Thanks to all for your help and suggestions. I stopped in at Radio Shack today and bought the relay Mike described - they either charge more in North Carolina...
