Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Neutron, post: 39605, member: 1341"] Major Stupid move today..... I removed the positive wire from my Carter electric fuel pump today, to do a little weatherproofing to the wire & terminal. I figured since those terminals are exposed to the elements, I should put some heat shrink on the ring terminal, and I'd eventually like to put rubber terminal covers over the 2 post terminals. While tightening my wire up again (after heat shrinking the ring terminal & wire), I overtorqued that little stud/post, and snapped off the stud for the fuel pumps' positive terminal. :cursing: Crap..... :flush: Am I going to have to buy another fuel pump? Anyone ever have one of these things apart, & know if that little post is fixable or not? I tried to call Carter (Federal Mogul) just a few minutes ago, but due to the time zone difference, was too late. Will try tomorrow to see if they can fix it, or if "Stupidity" is covered by warranty.... :rolleyes: Also, as a side issue, does anyone know a source for these sort of rubber terminal covers? I can only find a supplier in Britain, so far...... It'd be nice to find one a little closer to Oregon than England..... Are these more of a marine application than an automotive app???[ATTACH=full]63489[/ATTACH] Thanks, Jimme [/QUOTE]
