Just a thought, are you certain the arm is slipping on the shaft, and not<br>
the gear slipping on the flexible rack? Might be worth pulling out the rack<br>
to look for damage in that area; or maybe just make a witness mark on the<br>
end of the shaft so you can see if it moved.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how similar a TR4A is, but on a TR3A, I've seen the little knob<br>
that the arm mounts to come loose on the shaft. Drilling it for a spring<br>
pin solved that problem.<br>
<br>
Aluminum (or aluminium if you prefer) cans make a great source of shims.<br>
Cut to size with scissors (tho it's probably best not to let the wife catch<br>
you using her sewing scissors).<br>

I've had the exact same issue with the reproduced wheel boxes and or the <br>
wiper arms both replaced during my restoration. I am aware of a friends <br>
TR250 with the issue after his restoration too.<br>
<br>
I wrapped some aluminum foil around the wheel box and hope that helps. Wrote <br>
to TRF but no response. Frustrated.<br>

<br>
All,<br>
<br>
First of all, I am coming up on five years of driving the car after the 8 <br>
year restoration project.<br>
The advice and help I got through this forum was instrumental to getting her <br>
back on the road.<br>
Thanks again to all of you.<br>
<br>
I am experiencing a new issue that I hope you can help with.<br>
I replaced one of the windshield wiper mounts, and both wiper arms, during <br>
the restoration.<br>
At first, everything worked great.<br>
But now the wiper arm mounted to the new mounting ?slips" when traveling up <br>
the windshield, but stays ?locked" when going down.<br>
The effect is that the arm eventually ends up on the bonnet, doing a great <br>
job of keeping it free of water!<br>
<br>
I tried placing various things (teflon tape, rubber glove finger tips, etc.) <br>
between the arm and mount in an attempt to create a tension great enough to <br>
keep it from slipping, but to no avail.<br>
My guess is that the splines in either the mounting wheel, and/or the wiper <br>
arm, have become quickly worn, but somehow only in one direction?!?<br>
<br>
Has anyone had this issue? If so, what was the fix.<br>
If I replace the arm and/or the mount, what vendor should I buy from? <br>
Avoid?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Did exactly that (cut a thin shim) to put in the wheelbox in one of my cars years agof (don't remember which, possibly MGB/GT) I think they all have pretty much the same mechanism underneath.<br>

Hello,<br>
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:<br>
"The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive <br>
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery <br>
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery"<br>
I'll be back tomorrow with voltage readings when running a charge.<br>

:-) the point wasn't that it couldn't work.... do you drive your car <br>
every day? At least once every 4 days?<br>
<br>
ALL caps self discharge. Personally I just think it's too dangerous. <br>
with nearly no internal resistance...yes...no heat build up due to <br>
internal resistance for high amp outputs) but it also means all that <br>
power can discharge so rapidly it can melt wires. A short or high <br>
resistance across a bad contact and you've got big problems. IF, and I <br>
say IF it were ...I'll call it consumer safe.... don't you think auto <br>
manufactires would already be all over it?<br>
<br>
To this day I live with an electrical burn from a 1.5 second contact <br>
with a 6 cell (7.2V) nickel cadium battery across my stainless steel <br>
watchband. It turmed it cherry red and melted the clasp into the skin <br>
right at the tendon. It took nearly two years for the square 'melt' <br>
after the band was surgically removed. ... to flatten out. The scar is <br>
still easily visible 20 years later. Testing shows those old RC car <br>
battery packs can output a 1200amp spike for roughly 6 seconds.<br>
<br>
Now NI-Cads are in the .2 ohm internal resistance range. (a Lead acid <br>
around 2-4 ohms) LIthium poly and lithium ion, (laptops cell phones and <br>
VAPE industry are around .07 (+/-) My 3.7 (full charge at 4.2V) can <br>
sustain a 30 amp output for 6 minutes....for something the size of your <br>
thumb ( a very fat AA cell) I never did a full power dump, as they have <br>
a negative temperature coefficient. (thermal runnaway ...hence the <br>
laptop fires) Super caps have roughly a 0.07 milliohm (0.00007 ohms) <br>
output resistance. Basically you can vaporize pennies! (yes... BTDT)<br>

If you're convinced it replaces a usual automotive battery in daily service<br>
then by all means try it (carefully).<br>

?Hello John/List,<br>
This perfect timing. Big storm coming my way it's a good time to test my <br>
generator.<br>
I setup up the generator on a very old battery that has been sitting for <br>
a long time. The voltage reading was12.4V. With the Honda EU2000i <br>
attached and running the voltage reading went right to 14.54V and in 10 <br>
minutes the voltage went to 14.85V. That's why manual cautions to check <br>
voltage frequently.<br>
As I said in an earlier email:<br>
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:<br>
"The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive <br>
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery <br>
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery"<br>
I suppose all generators are not the same or yours may have a defect.<br>
I hope this helps John.<br>

Question. If you're on a trip and the generator fails, how far can you get on the juice in caps vs. batteries?<br>

Note how the caps shown in the video have over 100 times the capacity of the<br>
ones that were originally asked about...<br>

<br>
yes... These are lipo and or li-ion batteries as I described before. <br>
High capacity high current discharge capable.<br>
<br>
I'm thinking they must be li-ion as polys are not supposed to be left <br>
fully charged for long periods of time (fire hazard)<br>

Here's another one: What happens if you accidentally leave your <br>
headlights on? Or if your power drain is a little more than your <br>
generator/alternator puts out? Say a stormy evening with lights, heater, <br>
wipers on and you have an electric radiator fan? Where's your reserve power?<br>
