Does anyone know? I have been given advice on using it on an early 80's fusebox
Easy, Bursons, Repco or R and E Auto parts will have some. This is the one I use: 100G Penrite Copper EZE Anti Seize Grease 100 Grams High Temp Marine CEZE0001 | eBay Can I ask under what application you'll be using it? I am curious about its application for a fuse box, unless you were thinking of copper in a soldering application: Copper soldering paste But again, not sure why you would use it on a fusebox.
No. Just have you blocked lol. Same number. I'm at home doing some admin, have a bad back so been advised to take a few days off, expect more abusive messages on fchat.
Ahhhhhhh....I could be mate. It's not the stuff I see for brakes etc....it's used on fuses and relays to ensure good contact
I see there is a 'carbon contact paste from jay car....I wonder if there is much difference between copper and carbon when it comes to this?
As you may already know, the early 80's Ferrari fuse boxes are rubbish.....appreantly using copper paste on fuses and relays ensures a better contact
I just called Moretti (From a blocked number). He couldn't speak for long, was too busy indulging in a golden shower.............. .........with a nurse.
No, wrong. The contact in a fuse box is metal to metal. Corrosion is what causes problems - usually gives a high resistance contact on a high current circuit, which causes heat, which melts things. A Cu paste, or any conductive paste, runs the risk of shorting adjacent terminals, causing a whole pile of different problems. What you need is to clean the contacts, and then use a dielectric grease to prevent corrosion.
Aha, so you have just general electrical issues? Or a burned track on the board? The problem is not the fusebox as such, rather the way the fuses and relays are terminated to the board. Start by removing all the fuses and relays and cleaning all the contacts. Then solder any crimp terminals you find where the crimp meets the wire. Clean the area first with a fibreglass pen and use a decent solder.
Yeah, my mechanic is concerned about the same shortning idea....I have used a contact spray, and it did work on one relay....what is this dielectric paste u speak of...does it help with contact?
As others have mentioned; clean the contact points and apply Dielectric grease. It is also sometimes called tune-up grease, as it is used on hi tension leads (spark plug boots) and distributor caps. It should be available at any auto parts store.
Thanks mate....so cleaning the contact points just involves spraying them with a cleaner? or is there more involved?
