Mauri,
Yep, all the documentation is included. What's happening here is that
I'm putting in a EDM 740 so the CHT and EGT probes and wiring are the
same and I'm sending the new ones with the unit and leaving the old ones
in my Glasair. I'm not sure yet but I think I might be able to include
the RPM pickup for Bendix mags also. Price is $895.

Penetrating Oils Compared
Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break
out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They arranged a subjective
test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque
required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
Penetrating oil Average load
None ..................... 516 pounds
WD-40 .................. 238 pounds
PB Blaster ..............214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix... 53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
transmission fluid and acetone.
Note: The "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this
one particular test. A local machinist group mixed up a batch and all now
use it with equally good results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as
good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.
------------------------------------------
Kool Data! I have a can of Kroil that's
left over from our airport days. Bought it to refurbish
some parts on our tractor/hedge-hogg. But it's
interesting to see that one can do better yet
with some off-the-shelf ingredients. Would
be interested in hearing from members on
the list who have tried the home brew.

Bob -
I have been using "the brew" now for about a year, and am astonished at
how well it works. Recently I was tearing down a washer for repair, and
the tub nut was frozen in place (aluminum). All the repair directions
said to cut it off with a chisel and replace. I soaked it in "the brew"
for around an hour, ever so often, giving it a couple of whacks around
the perimeter with a hammer and a drift. When I put the wrench on it,
off it came like it was new! I have used it side by side with Liquid
wrench, and it works twice as fast. Drawbacks are that it is very
flammable, has to be kept in a closed container (I use old shampoo
bottles with the snap over tops and a short length of vinyl tubing in
the hole for a spout), and will ruin a paint job in a hurry. I'm on a
couple of machinist's websites and put the info on both of them
recently. All my buddies are using it now.

I would assume that this is the lubricant,
and the acetone is a strong solvent which carries it into the "nooks and
crannies" of the rusted assembly. Probably some other lubricant could be
used, but this apparently works!

In addition, ATF is a pretty good solvent in it's own right...besides
lubricating, it can dissolve lacquers, corrosion and other hard to
remove cruds. It is a recommended solvent for cleaning gun powder
fouling in firearms.
So, I would think that between the acetone's properties of being thin
and working into tiny spaces and being a solvent for most plastics, and
the additional solvent properties of the ATF and it's ability to stay
behind as a lubricant, it makes a good combination.
The containers of ATF do have warnings against getting it on your auto's
finish...

| Subject: | HLMP-2685 multi-LEDs off LR3C |
Gents,
I'm putting together a small annunciator panel with a number of
HLMP-2685 (and similar) LED packages on it. Each one has 8 discrete
LEDs, which can be wired in series or parallel to work together. The
HLMP-2685 is red, and there are green, yellow, etc., available too.
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/681506-led-lt-bar-hi-eff-red-8led-dip-hlmp2685.html
I'd like to hook one of these to the LR3C regulator instead of the
supplied filament lamp, so that it can go into the annunciator panel
too.
I've been trying to trace a schematic of Bob's, which I'm sure I've
seen, of how to use an LED instead of a filament lamp with the LR3C,
as a starting point. I can't find it, and the resistor values would
be different in any case, so can anyone throw any light on to how to
use one of these 8-LED devices with the LR3C?
For the other uses of this HLMP-2685, e.g fuel pump, flaps, timer,
etc, I'd put four of the LEDs in series, paralleled with the other
four, with a 220ohm resistor, to run from a nominal 12V supply.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in anticipation.
James

Thanks for passing this along Bob.
Great research info.
I'm also happy to see that these test results bear out my own observations over
many years as a mechanic restoring antique autos, that WD-40 is practically useless
and a waste of money. The other product which is not on the list, but which
I've found effective is called "Break Away" made by Cyclo Automotive Inc
of Elkhart Indiana. It would have been interesting to see this as well as additional
products on the list such as "Mouse Milk", and "Corrosion X" to further
the comparisons. The major drawback of the ATF/Acetone mixture is its propensity
to immediately remove paint and of course its extreme flammability. Used
carefully however it's the "cats a**" so to speak.

Robert -
I think you are right on - I only use "the brew" on rough old rusty
machinery, or something that I am reconditioning. You can get by with
less "dangerous" solvents on other stuff. I keep various solvents on
hand, as I am sure you do to - this is the "last resort" product where
either the stuff works, or you are going to end up drilling out the
bolts or worse to salvage the parts.

John,
I had the same situation several months ago, but had no joy from ACS, Stein, McMaster,
Digikey or Mouser. Good luck.

| Subject: | Re: re Chemical "nut Busters" |
maybe it will work this time. same problem as before.
regarding current thread:
Please do not use the acetone and *anything* in closed quarters. In
fact, if possible, have a fan blowing the fumes away from you while
using. I don't know of ATF will keep acetone from immediately drying
into the air, but don't chance it.
