I never really left. Its just that this BBS has contracted down to just a few hard cases who refuse to give up. Not much going on here.

Tending to agree with Ian---It's been ok for what, 75 years so why unfix something that's not broke.

I've always been a bit puzzled about why people find the idea an ammeter dangerous. I suspect it is based on a basic misunderstanding of electricity or, perhaps, it is the thought of having this item behind the dash which frightens some people? Yes, a lot more current flows through an ammeter than a volmeter as it carries all the vehicle's electrical current apart from that for the starter but th...

It was a slow process and took some hours with several flushes and rinsing.

As Steve agrees, the best news was that t...
