Title: Re: Thursday at the Riverside (Saltford)
Post by: Moleman on 03, June, 2013, 06:59:30 PM
Dam! I was hoping to keep that quiet. :(

I'm hoping to go. depends if I can get out the house with all those pressy's blocking the door or I finally get that F1 unbrella stand I keep asking for?  :P

Queens square should be good too.  :)

Should be good for the Saltford meet, speedo is playing up at the moment, but I've got a rev counter :D I've just got an electronic adaptor for the Type 9 box so will be on the lookout for an electronic speedo now.

Seems i have a problem with the brakes which I sort, then a problem with the 'go' bits! :(

Hey ho! the joys of a Locost :)
Title: Re: Thursday at the Riverside (Saltford)
Post by: Grin-a-lot on 04, June, 2013, 12:51:31 PM
Might be interested in hearing about the electric adapter, my electronic speedo takes its reading from the diff flange bolts and when a passenger sits in the gap is too big so the speedo stops working!
Title: Re: Thursday at the Riverside (Saltford)
Post by: YellaBelly on 04, June, 2013, 01:43:31 PM
Darren, it is on of these:

[smg id=1294]

All I need to do now is work out which is Earth, +Ve and signal :( and then find a speedo to suit and with a 50mm dial.
Title: Re: Thursday at the Riverside (Saltford)
Post by: Dixie on 04, June, 2013, 02:46:40 PM
No earth, My ETB speedo only has 2 x wires for the sender, but the back of the speedo unit has 3, one of which is the earth.

don't connect it the wrong way round, you will fry it as I did  :D

I set mine up on the lathe to check it out then promptly using a separate battery got under the car and put the neg wire somehow on to the input wire, big mistake would not work after that, the joys of kitcars  >:(
