Hi.All.
Just a quick question to those electrical nerds out there.
I have just installed a terminal block in my Europa, the two bolts that hold the
terminal block are bolted through the fibre glass on the inside of the instrument
panel, nothing can touch the heads of these two bolts on the inside as they
are insulated.
I want too make use of there threaded length as extra terminals so my eye let connectors
can fit down them.
Odd maybe, but it would be useful if I could use them, fibre glass is a none conductive
material , is there Any reason this would not work,
Regards.
Alan

Alan:
What kind of terminal block do you have?
Here is a link to what I think you are referring to:

Here is also a picture - But, I don't know if it will come through.
So, I gather that you are referring to the mounting holes to the left and
right. Well, the question is: What material do the bolts go through? If
it is fiberglass than they would be insulated. If it is metal than they
would NOT be insulated and could be used for a GROUND point. But, NOT for
the B+ (positive side of the circuit) .
As a side note: It is recommended that you do NOT use more than 3 ring
lugs (stacked) on a single screw of the insulated terminal strip and 4 ring
lugs on a single point ground. Of course the argument is : I'm
experimental I can do anything I want. And I have seen a solid inch (1")
of screw stacked with ring lugs, I think there might have been 20 ring
lugs. Did it work? Yes. Is it safe? NO!

NJ has taken the next step. They are identifying cars with bad drivers.
You will notice some cars with a large red "R" on them. That is to
identify the drivers as "R"estricted. Restricted is just a polite way of
saying Bad Drivers. Be cautious around them.
