Anderson Plugs

Post by Berw »

I want to wire an Anderson Plug into my Phoenix so I can use my auxiliary battery pack to aid hot starting at the track. Currently I have a couple of extra leads of the battery that I use crocodile clips on, but this means opening the bonnet, and closing after starting. I’ve bought two 175 amp clips from Demon Tweeks and they arrived in the post yesterday.
My battery sits in the offside sill and I want to put the Anderson Plug into the sill ‘wall’, My thoughts are to make up two aluminium brackets to bolt top and bottom of one clip, and bolt them trough the fiber glass with an aluminium plate on the outside to spread the force of the bolts.
Any one done this, and got a nice picture then can send/post, or any advice?
If I get this working I may then look at a lighter battery, but this is not my issue I just sometimes appear to need ‘24V’ to turn the engine over fast enough when it is hot.
Alec, I see from your reply to my earlier post that you work for RR, I worked for RR cars in the 70’s as an accountant after they broke the company into two, which was a direct result of the cost of developing the RB, Come across them now as engines for the compressors we use offshore,
Thanks Kelvin

I actually work for the Royal Air Force. thats how i've come to work on the RB. i've worked on a few RR engines during my 10 years service. jags and tornados so rb199 and adour. also some on pegasus. not the sort of things you can put in cars though really. may be fun though.

as for the anderson plug, i have not done it but it sounds like a good idea.
