Eta-to-M50: Build thread

[87e30]

I fried a wire my first time firing the m52 I had... wooops. Live and learn. :)

... everyone in my thread was really helpful though haha.

Got an email that the new connector and terminals are on their way via Priority Mail, so as soon as they get here, we should hopefully see a very nice update.

Can you post the part #'s for the plug and pins I need to make a harness for mine.

Number 2 in this diagram is the connector itself ( 12 52 1 706 068 ):


Number 14 in this diagram are the terminals that go inside it ( 61 13 1 357 705 ):

Thank You!
Your swap looks great BTW.

Just read through this thread for this first time today, good stuff. Hopefully you don't have any more surprises, but swaps are swaps. Gluck.

Well, I got done with work too late tonight, I have my daughter by myself while my wife's at school, and Andrew has a VERY big test at his job tomorrow, so we didn't get any wiring work done tonight.

It will be done tomorrow, but in the meantime, I did get my SPAL fan! Couldn't be a better fit for the M42 radiator, and with it being black like the radiator, will be all but totally invisible behind the grills.

^ Sorry I missed, did you paint or buy?

[Jand3rson]

The radiator? The PO had already (badly) painted it black, so I cleaned it up and repainted it black again, I really like the way it looks.

I can't tell, did you mount the fan to the rad or is it just sitting on it?

Just sitting on it, I'll mount it tomorrow.
