Fitting Hondaman unit.

<< < (4/6) > >>

Not sure of the 500 battery strap geography, but on my 400F I simply bonded a light alloy ‘tab’ to the back of the ignition unit, put 2 radiused 180 bends (lower bend anchored the bottom of the strap) in it and hung it over said strap. The unit was therefore cooled adequately, took minimal space and looked almost professionally mounted.

No problem Roo. The instructions just posted by Phil were fine, in fact my phone managed to copy the words as text into ‘notes’ and I could print it! I’ve got it fitted now, and seems to run well, in fact it started instantly. I haven’t been for a run yet. I have asked Mark if it needs cooling and not putting in a pouch, in which case I can just pop it out and under the strap, but I dare say if that was the case it would have cooling fins. The only difference is the static timing needs a multimeter (on volts I think) instead of a bulb.

JezzaPeach:
Update, ran well. The unit seems to get slightly warm so it’s no pouch, under the battery strap for now. 👍

Oddjob:
I did ask Mark about removing the 2 screws that hold the box the unit comes in and using those screws to attach a steel plate to so I could then attach the plate to the back of the battery tray and hang it off there. He said it would be just fine doing that.
