    I think I have a solution to your QC problem.

    If the QC inspector helps with the part of the production that involves consuming the contents of the containers that you are using, there will be two benefits.

    1. The crooked edges won't appear until twice as far into the night's production.

    2. By the time the crooked edges begin to appear, the QC inspector will be in no shape to notice the problem.

    However, if the production line staff and the QC department are the same person, you might have a problem.

    You need to be careful with LED Indicator Fluids. Some are non-compatible with Lucas Electrical Smoke and can cause more problems.
    A group buy of Lucas Smoke compatible LED would be a good idea, when a company that manufactures it for the Southern Hemisphere can be found.

    Brass Balls

    Brass Balls - $19.95 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!

    Since I installed these brass balls into my car I've found:
    - I brake later in corners and accelerate earlier.
    - I take riskier moves in traffic to get ahead
    - My reaction time is faster, my situational awareness has increased.
    - I get from A to B far faster than before.

    And the improvements don't just stop at the car, the effect of the brass balls carries over into the rest of my life.

    - I'm prepared to stand up for myself more
    - I rock climb harder
    - I have no fear in dangerous situation and respond better in emergencies.

    Seriously guys, these are well worth the money!

    vnx205,

    I have a problem!

    But you are welcome to drop in at any time to help on the production line, or on QC team!

    And, you reckon my wife doesn't go off like a demented propellerhead when she thinks I'm using her dressmaking scissors to cut gaskets!!!

    You also need to make sure you use the correct fluid. Some indicators use Dot 7 and others use Dot 007.

    As for the original post, he needs financial help to market his product. If it was that good it would sell itself with word of mouth.

    Have you inadvertently let the smoke out of the wires on your classic British car? This, then, is the solution to your problem!



    Here is presented for your perusal one Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke kit, P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS adapter tube and metering valve. These kits were supplied surreptitiously to Lucas factory technicians as a trouble-shooting and repair aid for the rectification of chronic electrical problems on a plethora of British cars.

    The smoke is metered, through the fuse box, into the circuit which has released it's original smoke until the leak is located and repaired. The affected circuit is then rectified and the replacement smoke re-introduced. An advantage over the cheap repro smoke kits currently available is the exceptionally rare Churchill metering valve and fuse box adapter. It enables the intrepid and highly skilled British Car Technician to meter the precise amount of genuine Lucas smoke required by the circuit.

    Unlike the cheap, far-eastern replacement DIYsmoke offered by the "usual suppliers", this kit includes a filter to ensure that all the smoke is of consistent size, It has been our experience in our shop that the reproduction Taiwanese smoke is often "lumpy", which will cause excessive resistance in our finely-engineered British harnesses and components. This is often the cause of failure in the repro electrical parts currently available, causing much consternation and misplaced cursing of the big three suppliers.

    These kits have long been the secret weapon of the "Ultimate Authorities" in the trade, and this may be the last one available. Be forewarned, though, that it is not applicable to any British vehicle built after the discontinuing of bullet connectors, so you Range Rover types are still on your own...

    This Genuine Factory Authorized kit contains enough smoke to recharge the entire window circuit on a 420 Jaguar, and my dear friend and advisor George Wolf of British Auto Specialty assures me that he can replace ALL the smoke in a W&F Barrett All-Weather Invalid Car(147 CC) with enough left over to test a whole box of Wind-Tone horns for escaped smoke. How much more of an endorsement do you need?

    More, you say? Well, I once let the smoke out of the overdrive wiring on my friend Roger Hankey's TR3B, and was able to drive over 200 miles home from The Roadster Factory Summer Party by carefully introducing smoke into the failed circuit WITHOUT even properly repairing the leak. Another friend, Richard Stephenson, was able to repair the cooling fan circuit of his Series 1 E-type by merely replacing a fuse and injecting a small quantity of smoke back into the wires. So there!
