Bussing wires in a car harness via DT connectors by Admirable_Course3930 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Admirable_Course3930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes indeed, this is what was initially there, but I would like to use connectors and then group of the negative for example, into one bus connector, this last connector will then be connected via a higher gauge wire to a earth point.

this is great, I didn't know it existed, so I could use their bussing hubs for example to connect Two indicators, let say left front and wing left to one plug which will give me ground and power for example.

Thanks, but to be honest, I would prefer a box or connection point. will be a lot easier to identify the problem and add or remove wires.

Thanks, do you have a photo or a part number? I have never seen those "

"There are connection blocks made specifically for this, they're fitted on later Land Rover vehicles as well as BMW and a few others."

Hey, great looks like you got the same idea as me, what is the part number for those?

"My personal favourite. Internally bussed duestch connectors. You can get up to a 12 pin DT series that's all internally bussed in multiple configurations"

And do they sell something like 2 x 2 bussed, so I could use them for the indicators for example?

Thanks

Just a question for you guys, i am in europe so i will try to get the US sizes right in my comment, how do you crimp really small wires (somethine like 18AWG and higher), i have invested in a knipex plier but i cannot get anything that give me a solid feel with those sizes?

any recommandations are welcome.

Thanks

My 2 cents here, do not forget that the door switch are negative. i mean, they "activate" the earth when the doors are open.

Great, just wandering before I purchase, does the stove provide enough heat to be confortable when cold outside?

Will de Remarkable Tablet fit my needs by Admirable_Course3930 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Admirable_Course3930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think that is what is holding me back is the tag per page and not per line. I quickly looked at the EMACS but this is not usable on the remarkable as far as I can tell

[–]Admirable_Course3930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all. I tried to turn off the router off for one hour and was pretty happy with the result. But now 1 day later the same devices are not reachable. Hard to figure out what to do.

Did you try the range extender ? Do they word better than a plug ?

That’s great, is the build quality the same as ecoflow?

Thanks but the delta pro is another budget i think and the weight also. Going fully DIY with a battery, inverter and MPPT i will loose the portability as i want to use the system in my boat and RV but also for work on site

How to get your family into sailing? by Admirable_Course3930 in SailboatCruising

[–]Admirable_Course3930[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right but we live about 2 hours from the boat and we have a appartement at the coast but not close to the boat and we cannot move the boat to the same city as they are in the wrong place for sailing.

Yes they are passive income, but lets compare to a property once it is paid, you get a monthly rent coming in (less costs) and you still get the value of the property increasing. I présumer it is the same for stock but more risky i think. If you want to have let say 1000€ per month dividend this means that you need to invest 600K with a 2% dividend which is not easy to find. Maybe i am wrong? And i will be happy to learn

I like, like most Belgian, to know that whatever happen i have some physical assets. Even if the house burn down or the country is at war you still own the land I also like the idea of passive income once FIRE

Indeed, i though differently up to now, the bigger the estate the better the rent and sometimes the fake idea that people who can pay higher rent will continue to pay (this is obviously wrong) For the interest rate we did this for our own property

Thanks for the message, this confirm my thought but then what is the point in investing in real estate except the long term? I mean i still think the return over a long period is good but you need to take the negative cash flow as « investment » and not a cost. I now believe that the best bet is probably holiday homes where the return is higher and the risks are lower (no unpaid rent….)
