Anglefire Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 If I remember I can bring my clamp meter - measures DC current as well as AC (Not uncommon but fairly rare if that makes any sense!) Can be very useful tracking down weird faults - though to be fair more in moderns that classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Can't make it the HQ. Shame we can't have a twiddle on the Club NEC restoration show stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just a thought, I ran off a batch of the coloured Spitfire and GT6 wiring diagrams and had my No1daughter laminate them for the East Berks faithful, no charge. The diags are for USA models so some discrepancies, but this is outweighed by the usefulness of COLOUR!! Should I get some more for Twiddle day?
