Vis Indicators Round 2.

[Jay-ZS+]

Its been a long time coming I know but managed to get a few free days to get these put together.

The previous thread got abit messy and I know some of the people on the orginal list had recieved kits although I couldnt remember who Id sent them too so starting a fresh.

Got 10 of these ready to go,

The Kit consists of:
LED indicators that are mounted to the switch blank,
All the Wiring to install
Installation instructions

This kit requires you to splice into the loom for the VIS motors, splicing and soldering onto 5 colourcoded wires that will all be explained in the instructions included. Not hard to install but any questions feel free to ask. :)

Come in at a cost of ?30 inc postage, gifted via paypal, pm me for address.

Will be on a first come first serve basis and as they are abit of a ball ache to make and take quite a while to put together. I dont plan on producing anymore so this will be the last batch. Although do have some components spare so you never know.

If a mod could move to car parts for sale would be appreciated :slap:

Recieved will Post tomorrow :)

You have a PM sir

Replied

[Jay-ZS+]

All those paid have been dispatched :)

[drroberts490]

Hi Jay,
Do you have any of these left, I'm interested if you have, although will have to hold out for someone to help with fitting, not too confident when it comes to electrics!

[Jay-ZS+]

Yer still got some :)

[Jay-ZS+]

Few more sent today, not got many left now.

[drroberts490]

oooh can i get mine before its too late please, if you PM your paypal address i'll send this evening, Ta

[Jay-ZS+]

bump :)

[Jay-ZS+]

3 Left now :)

[F3NMG]

Can I get your paypal address PM'd please. Send you payment after lunch. Thanks.

[Jay-ZS+]

Sent :)

Found another two Id forgotten about in the glove box today so still have 3 left :thumbsup:

[Jay-ZS+]

Shameless bump as after some piston rings for the bike.

[Mr ZS180]

PMd for address Jay

[Jay-ZS+]

PMd for address Jay

You have pm sir :)

[Jay-ZS+]

Right two left, who wants 'em?!

[C13URD]

i would love this cool bit of kit Jay but A. i dont have a soldering iron & B. i am no good whatsoever with electrics. :( wish i was

[Mr ZS180]

Received mine from Jay recently and gotta say its a very professional bit of kit!!

Havent got round to fitting it yet as slave cylinder is priority but that will be the next job ;)

[starfire039]

could you crimp instead of solder? I haven't got a soldering iron.

[Jay-ZS+]

One left now.

Could be crimped but would look messy and would be harder imo.

[starfire039]

where do they splice in? Near the plugs? Or the loom behind the dash?

[Jay-ZS+]

Sold! Mods feel free to close :)

[C13URD]

Vis indicators all working spot on now Jay, fitted my new balance vis motor today... alls good cheers..:bow:

[Jay-ZS+]

Nice glad it's all sorted notice a power difference?

[MG ZS STE]

let me know if theres going to be a round 3 Jay. Could you just scotch lock these in?

[Jay-ZS+]

Can't see a round 3 happening they take a while to make and are a bit of a ball ache to be honest. They could be scotch locked but I'm not a fan of bodging electrics and never found them to give a good connection anyway but would work.

Aghhh, Ok. if anyones got one that they don't intend to fit let me know?

Yeah Jay, I'm surprised you made so many!! they are indeed a royal pain on the rear end to make, when I started doing these I thought I could make loads in one go, but after about 10 of them it started to become a chore!!

As for Scotchlocking them into the car loom, then that is one sure fire way to induce all sorts of problems.

As for making them again, well I may do BUT PLEASE dont hold your breath as you'll probably die before I get one out again.....!

[MG ZS STE]

com'mon kev, one for the road. just think of it as your swan song.

[TIGGER]

I'm after one to ;)

[MG ZS STE]

Whats a site supporter gotta do to get a kit? anyone buy one in haste they wanna pass on?

[big_wasa]

I want one as well.

They are just so fiddly to make, the components are one thing it's drilling the blanks and mounting the LEDs that bored me. I may do an idiots guide to making them but SO busy at the moment it's unreal.

[big_wasa]

Yeah a guide or even just the wiring diagram would be great. No problem sourcing the bits and making it.

[TIGGER]

Yeah if you could just list the components that would be great then I can get one of the sparkies at work to make it for me;) plenty of guides how to fit them so that should be no problem;)

[pheelay]

I could make a few of these indicator kits if there's anyone interested.

The part's list is quite short:
- 4x 12v LEDs & mounting brackets (better off going with low power types, as you can't draw a lot current from the VIS circuit without causing problems)
- 4x 1N4007 diodes
- 1x 2k1 resistor
- some stripboard to mount the components on
- about 3-3.5 metres of 5 core cable to run into the engine bay

Oh ffs more work getting outsourced to the continent no wonder our economy is gubbed:chair:

What kind of problems? What power type were these [OP] kits?

[pheelay]

The LEDs quoted originally are Maplin CJ69A (http://www.maplin.co.uk/12v-3mm-leds-35738?ordercode=CJ69A). The specs say they draw about 8.5mA at full power. The extra resistor added to the circuit reduces that current draw.

I found if more than about 5 mA is drawn, the VIS motor got stuck in the activated/open position and wouldn't reset until I disconnected the indicators. However, I changed the circuit slightly using a separate resistor on each LED so that the LEDs light better. But it meant my circuit was drawing too much.

My point was just that there's no benefit in using higher brightness LEDs (e.g. @ 20mA each) as they won't be able to draw the current needed for that extra brightness.

hehe, well your funny money is of no real use to me here! At best, beer money for my trips over to London :clown:
