I cant easily use the Vans design solution of 0.125 thick copper bar, about 3 long x 0.5 wide, to connect the master solenoid to the starter solenoid, due to physical placement on my firewall and the stud orientation on the B&C starter contactor. So I want to use an insulated wire instead of the bar, maybe only 4 or so. >From old posts on vansAirforce.net forum, the current here is estimated to be up to 320 amps for short periods while cranking the starter. Is that correct? What gauge tefzel wire should I use to maintain the functionality and safety of the copper bar? -------- Jeff Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=510119#510119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
