Re: Bogus members

Well done that Man.
It wouldn't be so bad if the superb Tee-shirts advertised ( its ALWAYS Tee-shirts ) actually existed to buy. I have seen some really great ones on Facebook, but of course they are all scammers.

Re: Starter cable size

Oh yes, also if you are using battery clamps for a round post battery, the 2 screws that go down onto the copper strands are rubbish.

Re: Starter cable size

I would only add to this, use the multistrand as in your link - don't be tempted to use 240v with 7 or 12 strands, remember you will have to bend this cable so don't go mad with the size. Use proper lugs properly compression crimped, solder if possible is good too but it is hard not to damage the in...

Re: Ammeter

I would go the voltmeter route too. Have you actually added up the maximum load the car can apply to the alternator? 2 headlights @ 110w, 2 indicators @ 42w, fuel injection @ God knows, 2 tail lights @ 10w, heated waistcoats etc. Guzzi alternator is 350w as I recall - I know mine was not far off 90%...

Re: Brake Bias bar locking for MSVA

Something that threw me when doing the same thing is that you need a passenger. On your own in the car the passengers side wheel would lock up well before the drivers because it has less weight on it. My MSVA Inspector had a very quick glance at the brake pedal set-up at my inspection. Officially it...
