    Hi Group What tool do you like for tightening knurled round toggle switch nuts? Pliers really don't work too well on some tight areas of panel. Ron P. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499350#499350

    Another tool for Allan Nimmo to make at Anti-Splat! Or for Steve Melton to print...

    I haven't used either of them but Mr Google came up with two choices at https://www.stewmac.com/ "Adjustable Toggle Switch Wrench" and "ESP Multi Spanner" -------- John Bright, RV-6A, at FWF, O-360 Z-101 single batt dual alt SDS EM-5-F. john_s_bright@yahoo.com, Newport News, Va https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u6GeZo6pmBWsKykLNVQMvu4o1VEVyP4K Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499352#499352

    Not sure this went through. I had some account issues but Matt has be back o n line.

The A ux ALT (B&C 410) B-lead is run through a hall effect sensor to the GRT EIS. I didn=99t want to wire up a shunt so I=99m only using it for Aux Alt Amps reading (hence the =9Ccheck Aux Alt Amps=9D on the che cklist). The Aux Alt regulator is set at 13.9 volts. The primary ALT is conn ected through the VP-X and will show volts and amps. It=99s a plane po wer so we=99ll see how it works out. I=99ve heard good and bad t hings about them.

Perhaps my decision to use a 'traditional' SLA batter y influences this, since an inactive alternator will show up as a quite obvi ous voltage drop. I don't know if the lithium tech batteries will have as ob vious a voltage drop without the alternator(s) on line. >> >> FWIW, >> >> Charlie >> >> >>> On 11/11/2020 4:40 PM, Foghorn Inc wrote: >>> Here is what I have for my RV8 project. >>> >>> Fire away! >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Jeff Parker >>> >>> >>>> On 11Nov, 2020, at 10:24, Robert L.
