For hasty NEC Chapter 9, Table 9 single phase AC voltage drop calculations it's still two line lengths just as DC. For 3Ø you would use 1.732 line lengths.

Looks like he deleted a bunch of posts and gone AWOL. He's done this before under a different user name.

Multiple anecdotes can of course never be data but they may make a very compelling case.

Could be for tuning the ride, holding in jigs or conveyors in the plant, control distortion when the halves are welded, to get paint inside or access during assembly. Crumple zone makes a lot of sense, though.

Physics will always dictate and hitting something even just a couple of hundred pounds at high speed is going to hurt. So my thought is that going under on a relatively light vehicle might cause it to deflect or skid and potentially roll. That's what I was trying to say about a fully loaded...

Interesting. Zip ties have been the dirt bag mountain biker's solution to hard pack and ice for years. Really only IMO gaining true bliss with the rise of disk brakes. With rim brakes you had to avoid slopes.

The video I understood not to be the actual vehicle for sale but an example of what is possible. I agree, truck featured in the video is 4WD and obviously has manual hub locks. It also has 6 lug wheels, typical of older 4WD Toyotas. I don't see the 4WD decal on the truck in the photos nor do...

A coupling cover doesn't need to be complex, @Skinny.

It would be advisable to skip that shop and by all means dunk that cable into a vat of flux and have at it with a butane torch!

Depends I guess. One of the local shops I go to stocks really nice lugs, Thomas & Betts narrow tongue tinned with the colored die groove rings, along with the plain copper ones.

Welding supply shops can crimp lugs, also can be a good local source for cable and terminals.

As posted in the How-To Marine link, hydraulic has a couple of gotchas and I do not generally recommend them. The problem is the dies that come with them are junk, incorrectly sized, poor quality. It's not the hydraulic part, making it easier on your arms is fine. I bought the FTZ manual...

You don't need a ratcheting crimper for Delphi/Weatherpack/Metripack but you do need a crimper with the correct die or jaw shape. You can use Molex open barrel 'F' dies for the conductor ears but getting the insulation ears crimped requires a round die. Just my $0.02, but if you're...

Honda part number I believe is: 18350-Z0H-820

@Skinny, I think the idea is absolutely great, I really do. BTW, there's a fella down in Australia who has been making something similar for some years now. It's a bit more developed but very much along the same lines. http://www.christieengineering.com.au

You are very likely the subject matter expert, I don't keep up with all the comings and goings. I hear things about modified clutches and girdles for NV5600 and G56 but I have zero first hand or anecdotal experience to draw on. This is what I picture a dual acting clutch looking like, from a...

I tried a few things since I could see the bolts wearing a thin spot on my mattress. Rubber caps don't stay put, a couple of layers of tape, either. Those hard plastic caps let the cotton slide which when I thought about it was exactly why they exist in the first place - to let a chair leg...

I wasn't thinking about dual-clutch transmissions, but dry clutches with a pair of rings that replace a single faced friction disk and pressure plate. No matter how we parse it the traditional clutch and transmission had a good run and the next step had to be a hybrid. Honestly as much as...

Got it, was just an assumption really and prompted further research. It never sat well that they would generate ~12V nominally for the main output anyway since there's no benefit to stepping up if you're really after 120VAC and not 12VDC.
