hgs, I'll send you a PM.

Christmas week update. Probably won't get much done the rest of this week.
But I'll post what I could find, and what I did the last few days.
Found a pic I hadn't posted early on. The aluminum cam button we used.
Machined by a local. Yeah, I'm cheap.
Decided to go ahead and rewire the electric fan with a plug.
Took a trip to the junkyard the other day. It was nice and muddy,
from the rain the day before. Yay.
They only had two Jeep's, completely stripped. No plug. On my way
out I was looking desperately for anything that would work. I needed
the right sized AWG to match up with the fan/relay wires. The only other
requirement - it needed to be a two wire connector (+,-). Sorry all, but
I found a nice sized connector off a *ord.
While walking by,
I seen one end sitting there. I thought to myself, the other end has to
be nearby! Sure enough
, it was on the other side of the engine
bay. I quickly ripped out the wire holders and cheap loom, cut the wires
with enough to spare - and was on my way. 2 bucks. Not bad
,
considering all the local stores couldn't produce.
Had some shrink tube large enough to cover the ends, so I figured why not?
(I'll never need to use this large of shrink tube for anything else (was part of a kit)).
Shrink tube - will reduce to 1/2 it's size, using a mini torch or heat gun.
Shrunk -
Next, I soldered one end to the fan. Before soldering, I put two small
pieces of shrink tube on each wire. Far enough away from the heat of the
mini torch I used for soldering - so that the tubes don't shrink from the heat.
Sorry, didn't have time to get a manicure.
Pulled the fan's plastic sheathing up and over as much as I could.
I'll just tape up the rest. Not too concerned with it. I'll put some
conductive grease inside there too, after I finish soldering the other end.
Lastly, the Woodsmith dropped off bed wood.
