Valve Base

<< < (9/16) > >>

rleete:
Just a suggestion:  Those look like minature car battery terminals, so why not a battery cable clamp in miniature?  Then, make a cover/cap out of the teflon (or other insulator) and hide it all.

Darren:
The valve pin is 14.4mm dia or more prob 9/16

I think I may be trying too hard here, a clamp would be better than something with a push fit ,if only for safety reasons.
I'm having trouble getting my head around the insulating bit.

I will think some more on it, please keep any suggestions coming chaps..... :D

rleete:
Well, it originally connected to something.  Do you have any piccs or sketches of that?  Is it possible to replicate?

I like the idea you started with, but maybe modified a bit.  I'll PM you a quick .jpg of a part I whipped up.   Top is threaded, so you can use nuts and washers to sandwich a wire or ring terminal.  Feel free to post or use at your discretion.


Edit, nevermind, I'll find a host and post the pic.  Give me a minute.

Edit again, my spellink stinks!

rleete:
Something like this?  Sorta what you have, but without the taper on the inside, and a sliding fit.  Adjust to make good connection by squeezing the prongs together.  Maybe use some contact grease or Artic Silver (stuff to give good contact on computer CPU heat sinks)?

Darren:
OK that is something similar to what would have been used originally,

I'll see if I can sort a pic, depends if I can find sumut in the den  :lol:
