    I Doubled the Output of a Maglite with a 50¢ Mod

    It was also allowed in lager than 15-20Amp circuits.. I was a construction electrician from 1970 until I retired.. we used it in about every size wire from #14-750mcm (very large wire).. Stupidest thing ever allowing that stuff to be used.. You tighten a connection down properly, and come back...

    This Is What I've Been Up to Lately.

    1st you need to know what your power requirements are.. Now that you’re retired, any hobbies you want to do? … Woodworking, metal fabricating, welding, anything that is going to use more power than a few lights and and receptacles?… If so, then that may determine your course of action… I’m a...

    Cars, Man

    About 1964 I was a teenager looking to buy my 1st car.. My Brother-In-Law was Bill Fowler (Dan Guney’s chief mechanic and team manager).. Bill was selling an old (Maybe 1958 Ferrari coup for $3000.. I tried everything I could think of to get him to sell it to me.. He said no way, even if I could...

    Wireless audio

    If you have access to the VA healthcare system, the hearing aids are free… They are top of the line, and many accessories are free as well…. Butch

    Wireless audio

    I recently got hearing aids thru the VA… They are upgradable to Auracast with a firmware upgrade… Looking forward to trying this… Since I’m new to this, I think I need to get with my audiologist about setting up my aids for a little better sound quality…. Butch

    H4 replacement kit for old 7” sealed beam headlights

    I will be using them in an ‘86 Suzuki Samurai… The lights are pretty high up, so that should be good..I like that the power wiring will bypass the the old switch, and is of higher gauge and shorter distance.. These old Samurai’s are known for a lot of wiring issues, so think they will be a big...

    H4 replacement kit for old 7” sealed beam headlights

    They get some great reviews… They should work on most any old car with 7” sealed beam headlights, not only Toyota….Domestic, imported, what ever… It’s a Toyota made product, not some junk EBay crap… They are probably better than a lot of newer factory H4 headlights, because they have glass...

    H4 replacement kit for old 7” sealed beam headlights

    I found this on a Suzuki Samurai Forum… It’s a factory made kit from Toyota to update the old stock sealed beams for a Toyota FJ40… The kit includes lamps, shell with glass lenses, wiring harness, connectors, relays… Everything you need, and it’s plug and play… No cutting or splicing… I’ve seen...

    Repairing A Wireless Towing Light Kit

    Thanks for the reply.. And you are correct in that they are junked…. I’m not great with electronics, so I probably couldn’t fix it anyway.. But it might have been fun to try.. Again, thanks… Butch

    Period-Correct Lighting Upgrade for Harley Davidson

    I just looked, at your suggestion… The link didn’t work.. I had to go to Stedi UK to see them.. Are they even legal or available in the USA?.. They look good if they work as advertised.. My vehicle is a ‘86 Suzuki Samurai… Butch
