I was told that I had to be out at 10.30 this morning 'to give advice on concrete crushing' - why me :scratch:
Anyway before the allotted hour I managed to make up new heavy duty battery leads using cable from the originals and terminations from Vehicle Wiring Products, and install them and wire in the starter motor solenoid.
When I got back early afternoon I had a good head scratching deciding the best place to locate the 'Gathering DIN Rail' and how to get cables to and from it. It ended up mounted vertically on one of the cabinet reinforcing rails, and being serviced by slotted trunking and flexible conduit. Then I made up the seven way cable form that runs from the relay box to the cabinet, and pulled it through. Quite stiff this one as it contains two 10 mm CSA cables.
I had major difficulty getting self adhesive pads and trunking to stay glued despite rigorous cleaning down with IPA. In the end I changed to using acetone as a cleaner, and ran a hot air gun over the bits that were to be glued, as I strongly suspect that I was getting condensation between cleaning and gluing. Seems OK at the moment but we'll see if it's all fallen off in the morning !

Well if you think about it....as the ipa/ acetone evaporates, it cools the surface....( try it on the back of your hand..) the surrounding air will condense out any moisture in it, if the temperature is cool enough....
Early morning dew ring any bells? :lol:
