OK, make it two :)

My tradition when the wife goes out of town is watching the Godfather Trilogy followed by Scarface :thumb:

The Godfather trilogy is a masterpiece [emoji108]

Maybe not so much the third one. But the first two are incredible

Agreed, the second is one of the few "part 2" movies that are arguably better than the first (especially when the first was so darn good).

PC reminds me of southpark ... that's where I get most of my news about the US [emoji57]

And family guy of course ...
Hahahah South Park is actually understatedly clever. They have an uncanny knack for mocking the crap outta some really stupid things here in the states.

But anyways

I finally got down to sanding off the coating at the base of Reo grand, where the spring sits on.

I've been doing everything I possibly can to increase the performance, especially for lower resistance build. So glad I won't have to worry about this once my cc comes in.

You haven't been around for the fuse mod :ohmy:. Best thing since sliced bread ... (for a Reo)

Didcha have to drill a hole one of the fuse's prong? Tryna figure out how you secure it to the mod. If yes, what size is it? :O

I might have to try it. The vdrop on my Reo is a little too much for my liking, which was one of the main reasons I ended up here. (Aside from nautilusfan's enabling of course)

kiwi, I've done that to about every Grand I've had. I traced around the spring plate with a dental pick then only removed the coating under the plate. Also tried soldered the spring to the spring base, the improvements were minimal with the solder.
Someone with a 3D printer should make something that holds a fuse and uses the stock screw .

I can't find the thread. I think it was gone with the wind when the software changed? Anyway it was Pdib I think, and superx was there and forgot who else, but what I am sure of is that mundy came up with with these:

You cut its tail and you try to screw the spring screw in that hole. Anyway I will try to look for a better pic. Then you slide the leg of the fuse in

The one I currently showed you had the thing above break so I just place the fuse without securing it. It is secured by the battery. Heck, with it sanded now, just get a fuse, bend the legs and place it at the bottom and put the battery on top. Or put the battery then slide the fuse in. This is how the fuse is bent:

And this is the piece broken but still works. You don't need it since you sanded the base, I think I might go with that better even :ohmy:

And with battery

I'm using a 20A fuse. With these high rating batteries the fuse would blow before the battery :D since i think they discharge a very big amount. I tried it, but don't take it from me since I don't care much about safety. If you are like me and you just want to complete the circuit put the biggest rated fuse you find since it will have the least resistance. The guys were putting 10A ones back in the day which at the limits will have big resistance.

These are the big fuses btw, not sure if small fuses work better or not at all.


SORRY FOR OT GUYS, HELPING A KIWI OUT :D
