She's No For Starting- Help!

FUCK OFF YA CESMB's !!!!!

Aye, I am a tight bastard, but I am also a feckin lazy bastard as well, and rather than fuck about, I would look see what your local stealer or that dealer that have the parts list on their site (and a very nice young lady in the parts dept, she sounds lovely, might be a right minger, but I got touch on flirting with her ).

Sometimes they are silly expensive (any bike panel, especially if it has a bit of paint on it), but sometimes parts like that can be silly cheap and not worth the fucking about. I snapped something on the Land Rover when we first got it, asked how much expecting £40+ and it was £3.26 or something like. Always worth checking in my book.

Just seen its £15 !!! tell tae git tae fuck , make one up for less than that

 

Don't mention the TOPBOX's !!!!!

 

Just having a lunchtime snifter (Rum of course), Nice and sunny 28*........................................................................................................................................

SUBHARNESS. BATTERY NEGATIVE £16.73

 

Bodge away. I don’t want to sound harsh but wasn’t the obvious thing always to splice a new bit on the corroded end with the joint tucked out of sight?

 

Tough as old boots? You’ve no been eating yer parritch!

 

Heat the terminal up, and feed solder into it. Belt and braces, and keeps crud out.

 

Lead and tin alloy brittle?
Not the last time I checked!!!

In fact probably one of the least brittle metals around. But if you've heat shrinked it, that should be OK.

P. S. - you don't actually believe everything that's said on here?

 

Spoke to Mech at work this week he was making an Earth for a bus battery 24v He wasnt using solder,When I asked he said 'I would use it but I dont have any , though this will be fine'

There are other forums?

Makes it less brittle, thats why you use crimps. Crimping doesn't alter the hardness like soldering does.
As Basil Fawlty would say "Sybil, you know best darling!"

 

Yes, And?

Less brittle, so therefore like snap!!
But over a short space of time the copper will return to it prior state. If you heat your copper sump plug washers up, you can reuse, i do.

Look, I crimp and chuck solder in, nobody else has to, just what I have always done and as I never had a subsequent failure, will continue to.

 

Point taken Mr.O. I was just giving my view. If you use the right tool to crimp the lug on, it will not come off. I can see that the added security of solder adds peace of mind, but it is really not needed! Hey what do I know .................. and its a forum.................. everyone talks shit!

 

Oh we do that!

At prodigious quantities!!!!
