Oh yeah, if it's still got the shitty old fashioned selenium rectifier, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_rectifier we can perk up the charge system a bit. It'll cost $4.70, though https://www.jaycar.co.nz/br106-10a-600v-bridge-rectifier/p/ZR1320 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbeam Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Would be interested to see if they are stocked. When I picked up my tubing from Autobend they told me those straps were unavailable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Power for amp and stereo. Any reason to get proper fuse holders over just insulated (with added heat shrink on each spade) spade fittings onto fuse? Fuse holders are relatively cheap (though I'd have to go Narva not Temu, same same I'm sure) but they all required connections to different wire sizes and I have the wire to do the whole lot the same gauge. Low requirement 10-15A(ea) not at car to confirm. So yeah anything wrong with that connection type? Both will be secured at battery so pretty well protected. So yeah $25 well spent or is this fine: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Nothing electrically wrong except extreme OCD triggering. If likely to get wet then terrible and if the fuse blows you will hate past self when the wires rip from the crimp as you struggle for grip to replace. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Thanks team. Odds of getting wet will be very very slim. Dry weather car and it will be tucked with fuse box. Example photo above. I have the ratcheting crimps which seem pretty solid. Have same setup in other car for years. But figured I'd see if anything inherently wrong with the setup before using it again. Was looking to use spare fuse box slots, but doubt id have the correct fittings to slot in. The vacuum setup on the carb will already blow your OCD socks off if you happen to pop the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 If you have spare slots in the fusebox, for the love of OCD, use them! They generally use standard uninsulated female crimp terminals, so easy Jaycar are open Sunday https://www.jaycar.co.nz/63mm-non-insulated-spade-connectors-pk-10/p/PT4630 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
