I have shown that already a few times, my simple distributors. They consist of a wire sleeve (a so-called cable-shoe) and nine wires. The wires are inserted into the sleeve and glued from the bottom.   Assembled, it looks like this.  Here, the lining up of some engines that I have made almost simultaneously.    |

Great idea I will have to try that idea
Now every one name the kit that the motor comes from.
Are engines 3 and 4 from the left are from Infini-T and Stingaree?

Number 5 looks like an Ice 'T' big block.

The tall pipes are sooooo cool! . . The line up is even better! what are you going to doing with these? ? ?
An engine salesman's show rod truck. . . going door to door in a town selling engines.? ? ? ??

Thank you for the kind words! These motors are intended for the following projects. From Left to Right: - Sandsharkpiewagonbash, 60% done - A new Fast Buck kitbash, in progress ?%, pic`s comming soon - Stingaree, 90% done - Infini T, 90% done - Ice T, 80% done - Li`l Stoogie, 90% done - Butcher Truck, in progress, ?% done - Royal Rail, 90% done And sometimes, they can take a long time, these last percentages...  ;D |

where do you get those cable shoes what are they used for in real life?

where do you get those cable shoes what are they used for in real life? I get it in a electronic store. I think, these are also called ferrules... A little technical knowledge:Ferrules (or core end sleeves) are used to protect the stripped ends of stranded conductor, so that they can be attached without damaging the individual wires in terminals. The inner diameter of the sleeve is to be selected as small as possible, but so large that postponing problems to the stripped wires goes ahead. The wires should not be twisted. The sleeve is then pressed with a special forceps. Ferrules with a protective collar (the colored in the image) offer an additional kink protection of the connected wire. The tapered collar on the one hand facilitates the insertion of the strand bundles into the sleeve, they also show the insertion of the head with a sleeve in the clamp. A snagging the edges of clamping insulation and conductor insulation is avoided. The pods consist of typically 0.15 mm thick copper. These can be plated, in special cases, silver-plated or gold plated. The protective collar is composed of approximately PA6.6 or PP. According to the guidelines, cables must be composed of individual strands, with end splices, as the fine wire may be damaged by the screw and thus no longer perfect electrical contact is ensured. When installing the wire in a clamp, often remain separate wires hanging on the edge of the clamp to be pushed back and are in fact the worst case over the isolated edge of the clamp. There is a short circuit and thus a fire hazard. Furthermore, there is no wires with ferrules marked an increased risk of corrosion. In place of ferrules used frequently practiced soldering of lead wire is prohibited in the electrical installation. The reason is the low compressive strength of the solder. Deformed in a soldered lead wire screw under the pressing force of the screw with the times as strong (so-called "flow") that there is no more sufficient contact between the wire and clamp. In extreme cases, result in an undesirable spark gap. The formation of oxide layers can then increase the resistance significantly, which leads to a high fire risk. This trend is also supported by the high susceptibility to corrosion of solder joints. The color of the protective collar gives information on the maximum cable cross-section. Well, hopefully that was not overly boring, and for all of you enough to understand. ;D |
