The Head Light Terminal block is made of pressed carton and open under hood.Normally there wont come any water nearby the terminal block but it could happen although. Dence/moister can give sirquit problems or in worst case fire. Is there any cap for this block availeble or another good alternative i can use instead? Do you guys know how many amp. runs through that block ? What about a 12 volt electric light sirquit like this one ? Martinius.
ohms law V = I x R (Voltage = Current multiplied by Resistance) R = V / I (Resistance = Voltage divided by Current) I = V / R (Current = Voltage Divided by Resistance) amperage = current so 12 volts divided by headlamp resistance = amps to make it easy lets say resistance = 6 ohms 12/6=2 thus 2 amps is it. I do not know the actual resistance(ohms) of the lights and i think it is less than 6 but this a mathimatical equation and law that supasses all languages Bill
Headlight Terminal Strip It kinda sux to discover the re-pops are made of _cardboard_ , doesn't it ? . Guess how I found out ! . You can shellack them (!BEFORE! they get soggy) or use the later plastic ones as there's no actual current being carried there , it's just a wire loom joint .
Re:Terminal Block I threw away the terminal blocks on my 53 and ran new wires to the lights. Unless you are intent on restoring everything perfectly,get rid of them.
Modern ones with covers could be the trick to do! Hmmmmmmm.. great tips to try out. Not so dum to use the shellack.Its very sticky and strong stuff that protects the surface. But i will be looking fore the modern type as well. Thanks for the advice guys.Martinius
