1. rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 16:29:19 -0600; You may recall a post I made last week concerning really dim instrument lights. Well thanks to some pointers from some of you I have begun the process of getting real instrument lights back in my TR6; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00114.html (8,935 bytes)
2. Re: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 17:41:03 -0500 (CDT) "rheostat" (Oct 2, 4:29pm); You will need a wire wound pot. I'd guess at about 2 amps for all dash lights. Just as a reference point a headlight beam will draw 4-5 amps. You can definately put your 10 Amp ammeter in series at t; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00116.html (10,586 bytes)
3. RE: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 16:45:57 -0600; Thanks Jeff. I will try the multimeter this weekend and see what I can come up with. Just curious (and I know very little about electronics) why would I need a "wire wound" pot? What are the other ty; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00117.html (11,428 bytes)
4. Re: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 02 Oct 1997 20:03:31 -0700; You *do* want a wire-wound pot -- it will last much longer than a film pot, and I doubt you could easily find anything but a wire-wound with the current capacity required. Also, make sure you get a l; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00119.html (8,169 bytes)
5. RE: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 10:06:20 +1000; Peter The other common type is built from carbon film rather than wire and it cannot handle as much current and generally comes in higher (too high for this purpose) values of resistance. It is usual; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00120.html (8,536 bytes)
6. Re: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 02 Oct 1997 20:30:28 -0400; Pete, you'll need a wire wound potentiometer of the correct value. A carbon film potentiometer doesn't have anywhere near the current carrying ability for this job. The result of using one would be a; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00121.html (8,084 bytes)
7. RE: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 21:26:17 -0600; What would you get by installing a vacuum gauge? Would it measure how much leakage there is in the vacuum system or something else? Where would it tie in with the vacuum lines? I have never heard of; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00131.html (7,833 bytes)
8. RE: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 16:05:17 +1000; It is essentially an economy measuring device: the higher the vacuum, the less fuel is being used (does anyone have a better explanation?). But it can also be used dynamically as a diagnostic device; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00137.html (9,364 bytes)
9. RE: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 18:43:26 -0400; I am interested in doing the same thing, and therefore interested in your results. I don't have the time at the moment to do it myself, but I'd start by adding up the wattage of the lights in the cir; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00140.html (9,596 bytes)
10. Re: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 03 Oct 1997 07:59:25 -0400; Ah, a vacuum gauge. At one point these were touted as a means of monitoring fuel efficiency. I don't really see the point in having one permanently installed. -- George Richardson '57 TR3, TS15559L (; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg00146.html (8,754 bytes)
11. Re: rheostat (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 04 Oct 1997 11:01:48 -0400; It seems to me that if you did not want to install a vacuum gage in place of the rheostat, it might be a nice place to mount a small clock. my $.02 for what its worth.
