What did you buy today

[Ben-e-boy]

Years ago I helped a fellow sparky wire a flash boat, real flash it was. We had insulated crimp connectors you know the red, blue and yellow ones.

But, they were grease filled with a seal that the cable was pushed through into the connector then crimped.

Were supposed to be waterproof and corrosion resistant.

Can they still be sourced?

We use these connectors that are filled with solder and glue filled heatshrink, just use a heat gun and it solders and heat shrinks in 1 go. We have these specifically for PE's inside a saw unit which is subjected to constant vibration, saw shavings and coolant. It been years since we have had an issue with them.

On another note. I'm guessing you sponser a certain big green GQ at tuff trucks???

You can get crimps (red, blue & yellow) with hot melt glue filled heat shrink sleeves that work quite well.
Raychem Eviro splices are great, a crimp sleeve then a heat shrink sleeve with hot melt glue rings at each end, best for teflon insulated wire as they need to get too hot for PVC insulation.

After hearing all those horror stories on bad fuel, just bought a Racor 445 with 2 micron filters to put prior to OEM filter.

Now I need to figure out where to install this though...!

Telstra use small wire connectors that you just place
the wire end in the connector and push to break the gell
No good on the bigger jobs though

Hate scotch locks should never be used for any installation.
