|Subj: Temperature gauges and homebrewing
------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a question about temperature senders. Do the temperature
gauges in most LBC's, i.e. bourdon tube (I guess) running through a wire
to a gauge, need a voltage source for anything. What I'm really getting
at is: could I stick the bourdon tube into a pot of water and get a
reading on a gauge? This is for one of my other hobbies: homebrewing.
Any comments appreciated.
Brit. car related notes:
My midget is sitting in the driveway, patiently waiting for warmer
weather for me to continue work. I had to steal the battery for the B
though. The battery box frame on the B had rusted away and I put one of
the plastic battery boxes in. On the sheet that came with it said,
"Will fit battery groups ......(a whole bunch), but will not fit group
42." I couldn't see a size on the battery that was in there (it's a big
Interstate battery). The PO had just dropped it in with no handles and
there wasn't enough room to get my hands around it, so I pushed it
through the bottom. Sure enough, it didn't fit in the new box.
A related question, once the battery frame is rusted away, where
does the handbrake cable mount to?
