Re: (ET) A few concerns



Harold Zimmerman (Clean Power) here in the Lancaster, PA area has made up a new disconnect based on the heavy duty automotive type. I have been using one for a season or so with no issues to date. Contact him at cleanpower "at" att dot net (obfustication here in case he cares about spam...) I don't know if he has them in stock, but I'm sure he can set you up. IMHO this would be a far better use of your time.

Since you're local, you should look him up anyway, as he is a great source for parts.

Has anyone experimented with making the factory master
disconnect work as well as it can?  I've worked up a
fixture to help drive out the pin and disassemble the
unit, and I've made the disk nice and flat and shiny.
But how do you keep from getting just point contact on
the brass boltheads?  It seems like that's what you'd
have if the bolthead tops were new and rounded, and if
they were old and flattened (or freshly cleaned and
irregular), it would be hard to get all 3 surfaces on
the same plane.  Might it be possible to use some kind
of abrasive and "lap them in" to kind of average out
the mismatches and improve the contact area?

Sometimes the disconencts are hard to get set right.
