The part of the terminal that you want to use is the portion where the wire is to be crimped into the terminal, not the terminal itself. The reason that I use ignition pliers is that I can get a whole lot of pressure exerted on a single line across the tube since the plier jaws only meet at the very tip. The more pressure, the better since you are trying to make both a mechanical and electrical connection onto two pieces of metal I also use both hands to apply the pressure to crimp down. I think you'll be able to se this pic..
No, it won't matter much if you remove a coil, it will reduce the resistance in the circuit, so you'll have a slow speed that's a little bit faster than before, that's all.
I am in communication with a guy in Dural, NSW, who has a lot of parts for my two sprites. I'm also related to Burt Munro (Kiwi) who set a number of MC speed records in the 70s at Bonneville. I'll check out 'Chopper'.. 'ave a good day!! :D
My Good (morning) Highlander, who is 'the guy' in Dural NSW? I'm in NSW, my fan (heater/demister) stopped working maybe a decade ago. I was leaving the Post Office carpark, there was a distinct odour and slight smoke of electric burning. Now for rego I have to get working. One of my most moving films: The worlds fastest Indian. I had a close friend who knew Bert, Alex was from Invercargill, hence knew of Bert's story.
I'm after Tercels?

jEN,

I see your original account tERRI TERCEL from 2012, but it appears it only had 3 posts. You have been using your current account for around 4 years. The "Newbie" relates to number of posts, not time with the site. That said, Highlander hasn't posted in 4 years, so I don't know that you will reach him.

I had my two lower fan speeds not working. Thanks to dlb for the photos, they were a huge help. Took me about 10 minutes to do everything and have it back together so if anyone comes across this know it's a pretty easy fix. It definitely isn't a fix you should avoid doing.
