.. Positive earth ... and a dynamo...

Hi all, can anyone tell me if the Megajolt is suitable for a Positive Earth vehicle ? I currently have it fitted to a negative earth vehicle which I am selling and wish to swap it over onto a positive earth vehicle. This new vehicle will have a dynamo, I'm not sure the voltage control will be as clo...

For your information starter motor ring gears on the flywheel are shrink fitted and these carry very large loadings. I would suggest that the trigger wheel would be fine done this way.

When I was trying to get the best sized vacuum reservoir for my set up I used a large plastic syringe . I plumbed it into the vac line with a " T " piece and by pushing or pulling the plunger in or out I was able to adjust the volume of the reservoir in a matter of seconds. This means that...

A scrapyard that you can go into and take off yourself is the best option ( older and smaller yards ). I had all the parts for £20 complete with all the wiring. I took my time to take it out and stripped back the wiring as far as I could just in case. This turned out to be of great benefit as the ba...

Polarity should be correct as the wiring was removed from the donor vehicle in one complete lump and not altered here. Sensor distance i...
