Comments on Coolant Loss Sensor Install 700

posted by  someone claiming to be John Sargent on  Fri Jan 26 17:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have two comments to make regarding Steve Ringlees' excellent Coolant Sensor in the 700/900 FAQ. After drilling the hole in the bottom of the coolant reservoir, I used a beveling tool to create a 45 degree shoulder at the start of the hole. The beveling tool has a 90 degree included angle. The purpose of this beveled shoulder is to create a slight recess for the o-ring to seat in. I turned the tool in reverse in my drill. The tool is quite sharp, and is much too hungry to use on plastic in forward rotation. I deleted the fuse from the wiring. The fuse is not needed as the miniature lamp limits the current to the wire in the event of a short circuit. All you will get with a short circuit is an illuminated lamp. After all, the Nokia float switch simply connects the instrument lamp to ground, which is all a shorted wire does.
