heres a tool for all you gadget freaks out there... go find yourself a portasol butane soldering iron. they have a lot of different tips that just screw on like 2 different soldering tips, a small torch, a hot knife, and even a hot air blower that is perfect for single wire heat shrinking. it all fits in one case. all for about 70 bucks, and it fits right in the glove box. i kept mine in the car for a year and it got me home twice. once when mt double relay shorted out and i jumpered the solder track on the relay. a second time when the first repair lossened one of the tabs soldered to the formentioned solder track.
currently there are none on ebay but there have been some here in a completed auction so you all know what they look like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4325305645&rd=1 scott thacher |
