Title: That thing again
Post by: tooleater on 20 September 2012, 19:17:48
Whats the best way to reseal the Power Sounder casing, I think insulation tape would eventually let moisture at the Pcb,but Im in two minds to put it back in even though its such good condition,are there any insurance issues :-X
PS must learn to spell LOUTS = LOTUS ;D(http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh578/johnhmp/Omega003_zpsacb41554.jpg)(http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh578/johnhmp/Omega005_zps12748f1f.jpg)(http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh578/johnhmp/Omega006_zps3bf2ec97.jpg)

I would use silicone sealant or self amalgamating tape - maybe both.

As for Louts - it's a very specific car which is well known in many circles.

Going by the date on your PS ...  which I read as 01/05/06 ... someone has replaced the PS already, which explains why it is in such good condition.

I would suggest araldite or something similar.. but it depends how badly you butchered the casing in taking it apart !!!

It's still 6 years old. Mine failed about then. I wouldn't put it back without replacement batteries, personally. Araldite / Evo-Stik will indeed do a much better job than gaffer tape.

DOnt forget that the hack saw has removed the thickness of the blades worth of plastic from the casing, so it won't go back together precisely as it was before. So you'll have a gap to fill all the way round.
 Doesn't matter what's used to hold it together aslong as its water tight, as it's sited next to the drivers scuttle drain.
