Subject: Source of wiring insulators for Silvia?
|
Anybody have a source for the snap-on white electrical insulators
inside a Silvia? The ones near the boiler get very crispy after a few
years. EPNW sells something similar, but their's won't slide over an
already-crimped disconnect.

May have something good left, not leaked and chisel-hardened to the
bottom of one of half a dozen toolboxes in metal shelves converted to
rollaround. RipVanWinkle here - all set to slop some 90W gear oil in
the gearbox, and said I wanted the best. Synthetic. That'll be taken
seriously. Was informed manuals now use automatic transmission fluid,
Dexron III, and not gearoil (hmph - OK, some LUCAS to thicken it up bit
then). Haven't seen Permatex's latest offerings in... awhile (shellac,
black, then blue or red). Ultra Copper sounds interesting.

I still have an old bottle of Indian Head Gasket Shellac" laying
around as a collectible.
The Ultra Copper comes in a tube as an RTV, and it also comes as an
aerosol (not RTV) and I have used both with good success. The aerosol
can be sprayed in successive coats so might well in gasketless
applications as well, but for a diff cover I would use the tube. You
will notice that it has a different consistency then other RTVs you
have used.
There is also Hylo, made for metal-to-metal, thin-film
applications, but I have not had good luck with that. Figures- it is
spec'd by Rolls Royce. ;-)

BMW used to spec it for the older Airheads (the horizontally opposed
twin, air cooled motorcycles) to seal the cylinder bases to the block
since there is no gasket in there. Works fine on new bikes, but once
disassembled it is not that great. I resorted to low-test base gaskets
to help seal, as well as help for what passes as gas any more.

Thanks, but mine's Italian engineered for Chinese productivity with old
glasswraps. Kinda cute, too. Resisting the urge to bid on another
from ebay's finer refurbished furnishings for $54 shipped. Got a
picklejar of scissors in the garage. Next to the picklejar of razors.
Have to dig for hitemp silicon tomorrow - replacing differential
lubricant w/out a covergasket. :)< >(:

When I received my "floor-model" espresso machine, off the furniture
store floor, my guess is somebody inadvertenly may have kicked it,
because the steamwand coupling somehow had became disloged, ripped and
torn, and the entire grouphead profusely poured out water, right out of
the box. Later, when an insular coating material to the electrical
connectors on the boiler became hot and started smoking, I recalled the
streamwand ducting. Simple heatshrink sufficed by way of replacement
for factory braided asbestos slipjoints and tiewraps. As a
preventative concen in hostile grouphead environments, I'll also second
their useage. Cut the wire and resoldered with quick connects if a
wire is directly soldered onto boiler electrical studs.

Most industrial electric shops have the stuff. Sometimes they
will just hack off a few feet for you. Just remember kevlar
sleeves have to be cut with a razorblade, scissors won't do it.
And never try to pull that last thread apart with your hands,
it will cut right to the bone. :(
digikey.com has some in fiberglass and high temp silicone.

Except for the ones on the thermostats, which, because of the angle,
are too close to the top cover for my tastes.
Where do you get the replacements?

If any of my customer's units come in with them in poor condition -- I
replace them free.

Howdy Jim!
I've had success using shrink tube over the connectors. I've checked on
some I put in over a year ago & they still loook good & no electrical
leakage that my meter could detect.
