They look like very good solenoids. Metal are they? (IF so, probably better than plastic ones) Also not mounted in such a heat source as the standard ones.

RemarkLima · July 29, 2008, 11:27:09 AM

Looking very good! I\'ve now started hacking my rats nest into wee little bits, leaving the sides, but pulled all the un-needed solinoids, and got rid of all the metal pipes across the top.

Maybe a bit extreme, but yeah, I got carried away as well

How are you blanking off the unused nipples on the UIM etc? I\'ve still not found any caps?

nikp · July 29, 2008, 11:31:57 AM

There was a place that someone found that sold blanking caps, but i seem to have lost that now. What i\'ve done is cut a small amount a silicone hose, and then got a nice round headed allan key bolt that fits inside so it looks neat. Or just get a longer piece of silicone hose and wrap it around tightly underneath from one nipple on one side to another nipple on the other side. That way you can\'t see it.

Sounds good Nik, cheers for that. I found a couple of places but it seems to be a lot of dosh for a few silicone caps when you can get a few metres of hose for a couple of quid

I ended up just finding some long bolts with a plain shaft. Cut off the thread and head and pressed them home. Works very nice over a threaded bolt.

Looking good as well. Thinking about the 1600\'s for the single setup !

Hi steve, i\'m quite interested in this too. Been looking for solenoids everywhere to no avail, and these look spot on. Do you have any links to the site at all mate? Great job BTW, i\'ll be following this one :Thumbs-up

Hayward North · July 29, 2008, 08:32:29 PM

Well i got these from the states and they were about Â£380 + shipping.
The guy who was doing them has now stoped visiting the us forum therefore not able to contact him.
I have recently gained another contact for him so i have poped him a email.

Never managed to make much progress to day but watch this space

Steve, i\'ve found the end caps that you were after:
