Re: Laminated Top Bows Broke Again.

While cleaning up the shop I ran across the pieces of the top bows that I trimmed off.

Re: Laminated Top Bows Broke Again.

Frank (TRDxb2), For the most part I agree with you about stress on the bows. When the top is up and in position, the bows are in axial compression with the sockets. It is unlikely this is when the bows broke. I only found broken bows after I put the top down. Putting the top down by myself is awkwar...

Re: Laminated Top Bows Broke Again.

I think that the transition from the rectangular cross section of the bow to the oval cross section of the socket creates a natural fracture line.

Re: Anyone Ever Recharged the Magnets on a HCCT…

Every HCCT has a wire from the mag ring terminal to the HCCT.
Disconnct the mag ring wire from the HCCT.
This will isolate the mag ring from the rest of the HCCT.
Then recharge the magnets the same as you would in the car.

Re: Floorboards

I used Por-15 on my floorboards.
It adhears really well and wears like iron.
It has a glossy finish.
Unless you park outside, with the top down, in the sun, full time,
there are no issues with the color becoming cloudy.

Re: HCCT tear down question

That looks like a Ford or early Fairbanks HCCT.
Here is an exploded view of your tester.

Sorry, I can't offer any insight on how to get the pin out :?

Re: No Volt Meter on Hand Crank Coil Tester….

Michael,
Does it appear that the one meter configuration is original or has it been modified from a two meter configuration?
If this was originally a two meter coil tester, the second meter can be added.
Please post some more detailed photos of the meter and it's installation.

Re: Source for High dV/dT capacitors

The difference is the dv/dt rating.
The one on the left has a dv/dt of 700v/uS.
The one on the right has a dv/dt of 1700V/uS.
The one on the left was the standard before the custom capacitors were made.
