  Replacement battery cables
Posted by: Rissy - 25 Jan 2023, 08:26 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (7)

I tried social media for an answer, and nobody could give me one.  I’m hoping someone here knows.

I’m thinking about changing out my battery cables.  That is, the chunky cables which go between the battery terminals and elsewhere.  The purpose behind this is to give me the easier option of a posted battery rather than the original terminal style.  Side terminal batteries are thin on the ground and getting fewer options every time I need to consider a new battery.

I’m interested in keeping my original cables intact, so therefore would like to fully replace what’s there with new, hopefully more flexible made up cables.

So, with everything explained and hopefully justified, I’m after someone telling me the dimensions of the cables I need.  Cross sectional area (mm2) or at least diameter or even better gauge or amp capability.  And of course, length so I have enough in each length to get from the battery to the other end with room to spare for pulling the battery in and out of its cubby hole.

I’m hoping someone can come through for me here.  Social media just seems to sport on additional questions etc from others rather than a simple straight answer to a simple straight question.  I don’t mind the other comments etc from others if they answer the question first.  But to only bring those to the table with no actual answer to the original question.  Well I find this frustrating.

Thanks in advance.  I hope.

  Cargo net lower fixings
Posted by: lordivanhoe - 23 Jan 2023, 10:11 - Forum: 8 - Frame / Body / Interior - Replies (2)

Hi, a long time ago (it seems) I took my cargo net off as part of getting the back panels off to do some maintenance work.
I have got the back panel on along with the upper cargo net hooks, so no problem there:
However, I'm failing to remember how the cargo net affixes at the bottom edge!  I've looked at the various websites which show which parts I'm supposed to use, but am not really any the wiser as to how they go together..
Has anyone got a nice clear photo which shows the cargo net fixing apparatus at the bottom edge, perchance?
Cheers!
Ivan

  Exhaust crossover pipe removal
Posted by: Justwatching - 27 Dec 2022, 15:03 - Forum: 1 - Engine - Replies (7)

As per title. I've got the muffler and catalyst out. I've disconnected the crossover pipe from the two manifolds but can't seem to manoeuvre it out. Is there a special handshake to get this out, or do I need to remove a half shaft or something?

  Bricklin For Sale
Posted by: Chris Williams - 01 Dec 2022, 18:22 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - Replies (6)

The owner of the Bricklin that I did a photo-shoot with a couple of years ago (and was for sale at the NEC) contacted me today asking if I could promote this car to the DeLorean owners. It didn't sell at the NEC and the owner is keen to sell. Hopefully it may appeal:

  Car Show, Thruxton 26th Feb 2023
Posted by: Chris Williams - 24 Nov 2022, 18:22 - Forum: Southern England - Replies (1)

Hi, I hope you don't mind me emailing you.
 
I am organising a Charity Car Show at Thruxton Motor Circuit on the 26th February in aid of Naomi House Hospice.
 
At the moment I am looking for exhibitors to come along and show either a classic, sports car, or just something a little bit different like your deloreans, and wondered if your members might be happy to bring one along on the day.
I am still polishing the finer details, so don’t have much more information at the moment, but if it is something you think your members would be interested in then please let me know and I will be in touch with more info when I have it.
It would be lovely if we can see you in February. 
Best Regards
Sian

  Isle of man 2023/24
Posted by: theningiachicken - 16 Nov 2022, 12:26 - Forum: DOC National Events, Car shows, AGM's and others - Replies (27)

So for those of us at the NEC on the stand when we were approached by someone organising the isle of man festival of motoring? does anyone have a copy of the leaflet he left with us? so i can check all hotels and help sort the event out for those interested. 

I have checked out the hotels on offer for the 2023 run of the event and either the hotel in Ramsey or Ballasalla would be the recommended options since they have onsite parking and are easier to get to than those at Douglas as parking regulations on Douglas front are very unusual when I went earlier this year.

Also if we get a choice of either Liverpool or Heysham docks id highly recommend Heysham. it may be a little longer of a drive but its less of a hassle to get to as its out of the way of regular traffic and easy to load onto the ferry as the gradient of the ramp isn't as steep unlike Liverpool.

Im 100% up for a trip like this since we get so many perks like a closed run of the TT mountain road, access to both transport museums and our own spot for a stand.
