slim Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My manager got these two attachments in an e-mail from our field engineer about 2 weeks ago. I just did a high pressure pump yesterday and used the zip tie procedure but the connector spacer wasn't in the pump. I'm just passing these on for anybody who hasn't seen them. I don't have the original text on the e-mail anymore but I think it said these were going to be put into the boxes with the HPP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I seen those tabs spead apart from the engine heat and cause loose connections. Always nice to have the customers do the R+D for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Zip ties... We fixed your $82,000 Harley Davidson F-450 with zip ties, sir.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Is there a SPEC zip tie to use? Because some of the ones I've seen bust pretty easily once they get hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Is there a specification as to how tight to apply the zip ties? Do we need a spring gauge or go at by feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I went into our parts department and tried to find a zip tie 5/16" wide. We didn't have one but we only have like 10 different sizes, so I guess we need to order more, but they are probably on backorder now. This is cheaper than redesigning than connectors and purging old stock, at least Ford isn't owned by the government, it just seems like it some times.
