Hopefully Peugeot sell them...alternatively I could just stick a fuse in the slot and connect a terminal and wire to the fuse. Would rather have the proper connector block though that sits nicely on the side of the fuse box. This is to wire up the PAS pump.

#904: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 2:44 pm ---- Middle of September it was taken off the road.
#905: Re: Project sleeper Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 4:05 pm ---- has it ever been dirty from new ??
must be a long process to keep it as clean as you like it
#906: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 5:13 pm ---- Just dont get it dirty! It's never been dirty. It's certainly been used but it's always avoided dirty country lanes and anywhere with mud!
#907: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 12:23 pm ---- Got to have a decent level of attention to detail...£6.89 for a new PAS reservoir cap. Must better than the old damaged one.
#908: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:29 am ---- Built a dummy radiator out of MDF today. It's still got a bigger surface area that the original. All of this will be exposed to the airflow too unlike the original. 74mm thick too as Radtec use a dual core. As the surface area is marginally bigger than standard I'm wondering if a twin core is actually necessary.
Next job is to work out where the inlet and outlets need to be and to built some dummy pipes through to the standard hoses.
#909: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 12:49 pm ---- It depends what your planning on using the car for? .....Full on race use then yes a twin core would be good but for road use it would take a while for the engine temp to get up and maintain at a optimum temp that's why I kept my standard rad.
#910: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 1:16 pm ---- I have to remember that some of my new design is made up of end tank so strictly speaking it's not all radiator surface area.
You think thick silicone hose is adequate for the PAS pipes? I had some in stock so I popped it onto the pump and pas pipes...looks the part.
#911: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:42 am ---- coming along very nicely Paul.
#912: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:18 pm ---- Well you'll new a hi pressure pipe from the pump to the rack
#913: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:23 pm ---- As a temorary measure I'll stick with the thick wall silicone hose that's on there. It's not going to get driven for some time yet. It's a very tight fit on the pipes so it's good enough for in the garage!
#914: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:09 pm ---- Money, money, money. This car certainly need a lot of it even for the little bits. I need a yellow and green plug for the fuse box. These plugs are handed so both are needed. One for the fan wiring and the other for the steering pump wiring. Plugs and terminals thanks to modest minimum order quantities mean this lot was £25...wiring, connectors, terminals, sleeving and relays etc will be another £25 I reckon. So £50 just to wire in a fan and pump.
#915: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 11:33 am ---- Another £42 spent on wiring bits!
Heavy duty relay for the PAS pump will be mounted alongside the fan relay and is mounted on the battery box.
This lot was purchased too. Amazing how much big terminal costs for connectors. Maxi fuses too with wiring for the pump.
