chris r Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 @h4nd what software did/do you use for drawing the diagrams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 KiCAD. Spent 20 years using protel 98, am pretty quick with the built up muscle memory. KiCAD is now good enough, has good and improving libraries, and is free. ( @chris r ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I just used KiCAD to knock out a sneaky little facia plate thingy, will see if the DXF export suits Anton's CNC import process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Ordered from Element14 (last night), they were claiming overnight delivery from Sydney if ordered before 6:30pm. BUY NOW! DHL just chimed in to say, yeah, nah, Thursday good bro? Suckered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS just overcharge but at least it seems to arrive in acceptable timeframes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Yep, but Digikey far and away has the best part selector, and delivers in consistent (moderate) timing. Mouser is good for x-checks against all the above, good for certain parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Do remote brake servos (or any booster) generally have a non return valve on the vac hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 For sure, Often hidden as a pill inside the hose, so not always apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 What about one of those hydraulic hose jokers? Might have access to a good catalogue of that sort of thing for industry use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin'joe Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 ok, or the 'stretch' the outside radius, opposed to 'shrink' the inner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
