| Continued with the wiring - wing feeds for lights. | 
|
| A number of areas need multiple feeds of the same line (eg. signal ground). | 
|
| After some experiments using crimps and research I decided to use Bob's recommendation and wrap and solder. This is only for low power signal control, for real power I'll use pin crimps. | 
|
| Obviously the important thing is to make sure the solder doesn't wick up the wire and result in a frature point. The whole joint was then covered in clear heat shrink. | 
|
| To finish the day, I started looking at the stick controls. Then I relealisd that I have the wrong size grips. Note: it should be 1" (P1) and 7/8" (P2), I have 2x 3/4". Some emials sent to Michael Lewis (maker of the wodden grips that Vans & Spruce sell). Update: Mike was really helpful - a few options - two new grips (without switches) is still nearly US$100 and shipping is a pain - I think we will try and modify the ones we have. I'm just annoyed I didn't realise when ordering. |
