Re: PID Silvia Sydney
Hi Bloop,
You can do this one of three ways..... Youre correct where the use of Soft Solder is concerned.
Probably the easiest, if you can get hold of it, is to use Silver Solder as this can be achieved with a standard Propane Gas Torch.
Second method is to use a small Crimp Link or Lug with a good pair of crimpers that will guarantee a high pressure crimp. Just twist the two t/c wires together then insert into Link/Lug and then Crimp.
Third method is to autogenously weld the two t/c wires together but without suitable equipment, this is next to impossible to do. If you know someone with a TIG Welding outfit, they should be able to do this for you.
My money is on the first two methods for DIY at home though.
Im not entirely sure of the Wiring Arrangement of the Silvia compared to the Mokita but all I did was remove one of the downstream cables from the Main Power Switch (with unit unplugged of course), attached a "Piggy-Back" Spade Connector (from Dick Smiths) to this cable and then re-attached to the Switch. I then attached the power cable to the Controller via the newly created "spare" lug and all was good
. Im sure Ive seen a schematic/wiring diagram for a Silvia posted up here before so maybe a search will turn up where this is located.
All the best,
Mal.
