Good advice Killer !!


A follow up to Killer's advice on insulating batteries.

I had a problem with my speed control touching my brass frame that caused a short and blew up the control. Also, my batteries in the cab of my UNIMOG have to rest right on top of the frame and I knew this would cause an explosion

I used the infamous [b]PLASTI DIP[B/] to insulate all battery ends and certain circuit boards. Actually it is a product called Liquid Electrical Tape from a company named Starbright (they make cleaning products for my boat too). It is esentially the same as Plasti dip. Just paint it on and let it dry completetly. it might take a couple of coats, but dont make it too thick unless you have a lot of room My UNIMOG was so crowded that even a thick coating would have taken up too much space.
