Ray's Auto in Marietta Georgia has them. He sells 50 amp dual 87 relays, relay connector kits, and ceramic H4 connector kits for DIY harnesses. Also sells complete harnesses. He doesn't have a website, but his phone number is 770-424-8620. I've got his business card somewhere with an email address, I'll dig it out and post it.

Cooling Lines Time to make some aluminum cooling lines. 1.25" OD X 0.058" 6061-T6 Bare Drawn Aluminum Tube does not like to bend! It must be annealed first and even then it can be hit and miss (as you will see...). Rubbed with bar soap and heated with a torch until the soap uniformly darkens: ![]() I liberal amount of lithium grease applied to the bender dies and: ![]() ![]() ![]() One end done, time to do the other end... ![]() and ...doh! Couldn't have happened on the first bend could it ![]() ![]() ![]() Two more sticks are on the way for remaking that one. You may have noticed the bead rolled into the end. I made this little tool for doing those: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm going to add some surface area to the "saddle" to reduce the indentation on the OD. ![]() That other line shown is for the upper coolant line. Here's what I'm going for (lower line still needs to be remade) ![]() Clamps will all be either T-Bar or Shrink-Clamps ![]() |

Heater Lines In related news... I put that heater line bulkhead to use. Though it is a beatiful piece, I chose to hide it as best I can. I played with a few different locations for the firewall passthru, but in the end this one won out: ![]() ![]() ![]() Inside (not they do not interfere with pedals/feet) ![]() and over to the heater core: ![]() Now how do I regulate the heater temp. This Summit unit came with no provisions for regulating temp. Three fan speeds and that's it. What if i want some defrost without blasting the heat? Here's my solution: ![]() Controlled by the existing dash lever: Open ![]() ![]() Closed ![]() ![]() |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Cool idea on the tube beader. These ones from earls seem like a simple idea that would work but you have to buy one for every size tube. If its just one size you need then ok, but they would add up fast.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Now that is totally cool! Making your own tool like that.
I'm not sure where I heard this, or what material it's used on, but the myth has it that if use fill the tube with sand it won't collapse. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
The ball valve may work, but I think it will probably feel like full on at about 1/3 open. Depends on the amount of total flow you have. Part way open on that valve may be enough to allow all the flow the system puts out. A small orifice (washer) in the valve inlet might help control it better. Another option is a smaller ball valve. You'll just have to try it out and see what you get for results.

What else have I been up to..?
I decided not to run the capillary oil pressure gauge (oil line running into the car ![]() Bought a Stewart Warner 0-100PSI gauge off eBay. ![]() It has the correct 90* sweep to use my gauge face-plate ![]() Researched the proper sending unit specs for the gauge (240-33ohms for 0-100PSI) and found this VDO unit (don't mind the exhaust wrap.

So a T-fitting allows me to run both: ![]() Integration of the SW gauge into the Sunbeam dash: Upper right location in the pic is the existing oil gauge (had already attempted to use a water temp gauge with oil pressure face-plate but could not find a sender with the correct range or span) ![]() SW gauge size reference: ![]() ![]() Guts pulled and already clearanced as needed: ![]() Where it's going: ![]() Face-plate also required a little mod: ![]() Zero-Stop post added: ![]() ![]() ![]() Work in progress... ![]() Tapping for stand-offs: ![]() ...and that's as far as I have pics of.

Dry sand will stop the tube from collapse. Pack it in tight so there is no air trapped and cap the ends. I have seen square bent into tight radias with this method.
