    crimping anderson

    Ive got a manual crimper , looks like its a hex crush . im a bit confused . ie making an adapter up with a Anderson 175amp to 50amp . using 16mm2 cable . now do i set the crimper at 16 for both size connectors . as one is massive compared to the smaller 50amp . i know the internal diameter...

    12V compressor recomendations

    Suburban , Try a T-max they do it no problem from flat . As I'm never happy with cable lengths on pumps (not saying they are not adequate ) I'm rigging up anderson connectors so getting 3mtrs of 16mm2 to make a extension , whilst i'm putting anderson on anyway two birds job .

    Emergency battery booster packs (Good/Bad?)

    +1 for the Genius GB40 , started my old volvo V40 with a mitsubushi lump in it . did 6 times and still @ 80% . Never ever thought it would power the interior light .

    Battery connection .

    Not sure now , as 50 would be enough for the T-MAX pump (if i can get the clips on) . But 175 then im good for everything . Dont really want to fit both with having dual charge leads , isolator leads , and fuse box , and now anderson leads in there i think its to much as it is .

    Cylinder head and sand paper

    They were pretty good about making brews lol , but i grew up , dragged up with trucks so was wise to the tricks , still went along with them as it gave me break fetching buckets of air etc .

    Battery connection .

    Hi now i have my dual batts sorted , along with a cig socket front and rear direct to the Aux batt . Next job is how to connect ie tyre pump to the batt without lifting the seat off etc , thought anderson or jump posts so i don't have to cut off the clips . Any ideas ? .

    12V compressor recomendations

    I got the larger T-max glad i did , great bit of kit . but same as them all the cable is never long enough unless you pass it under (landy) or through (car) .

    Cylinder head and sand paper

    When i started work at a garage the first job i had was to grind the valves in on 40 heads , felt like millions of them , At least they gave me a bit of a break/excitement letting me serve fuel . if my memory is correct they were Landrover heads .

    Defender prices

    Well if the worst fears of some happens in the not so near future , There will be super trade in deals , subsidises to get ride of our much loved defenders etc , + trucks buses trains , agricultural machinery . If that can be made happen in the next years let it be so . I wont be around to see it .
