starter update

[Beater]

anyone have a tutorial on how to change up the A starter to use a remote solinoid?

 

[Bob C]

It looks like you could make your own from an old starter switch.

What solenoid did you use?

What solenoid did you use?

i didnt use any .... yet

 

[GerryAllen]

What am I missing? Why would you change out the simple foot starter to a dash mounted starter button?

Here is what I have, I bought it that way, with the button on the solenoid I can crank from either side of my smiths compressor

there used to be a aftermarket solenoid that bolted in place of original starter switch

The lug on the starter has enough meat to solder the strap to..reduce the chance of arcing..

I was like 'why' too..till last weekend when I worked on a car with a button mounted on the dash rail..could reach through the window and bump the starter.

what you are missing is because its not your car maybe? im happy for you to want to keep yours the way henry made it. how about lets say you have a bum leg from service that doesnt work very well and you cant turn your foot very well to reach the button? would it be ok then if i modify my car?

In the mid 70's I posted on a lot of BBS Bulletin Board Systems using the ARPANET... no photos or attachments ... just Ascii text.

This was many years before DOS or Windows or Apple for that matter.
CP/M was the Operating System.

Back then if you typed with all capital letters it was considered to be "shouting" and was used ONLY when you were pissed off or you wanted to be rude.

One fellow named Bill AWAYS used capital letters and continued even after the "Shout Police" repeatedly harassed Bill about it.

Then one day a message was posted on the BBS under his User Name using upper/lower case.

Bill's wife wrote.

"This is Bill's wife.

Please stop the harassment.

Bill was paralyzed from the neck down when he was shot just after he pulled the pin on a grenade and before he could throw it away.

He types all of his own postings one letter at a time using a "wand' that he holds in his mouth.

I trust that this should put an end to this problem!"

Beater,


Sorry about that.



My original Post 9 was not clear and did not come over like I meant it to.


I made corrections to post #9.


Better yet lets forget about it.
