Andrew, I have installed my kit and it is great. I highly recommend buying this unit. In the past, I have always had a leak at the engine unit. His unit is a great fit with no leaks. We should support anyone that makes a better product at a reasonable price. Thanks for your efforts and workmanship. Ron B.

Glad to hear it's working and your happy with it!

If any issues pop up feel free to let me know and I'll help trouble shoot.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hardware update!

I have gotten a few emails / messages here and there since I started selling these about the solder joint coming loose between the wires and the contact points. Everyone has been understanding and went about re-soldering  it back together but wanted to let me know for future improvement.

To be honest this is the weakest link on my assembly, and probably the strongest on the USLC unit ;D

So I went out into cyber space for a stroll and found another piece of hardware to try out 



These have a threaded hole at one end and should make for a much stronger solder joint then the smooth hole that I have been soldering into in the screws \ set screws of the last parts.

I do have to turn down at least one of them because of how close three of the contacts are. This will more then likely be the best solution short of ordering custom hardware with some absurd minimum order quantity.

I haven't had a chance to solder wires into them yet, hopefully at some point today?

Found a way to make more time in the day.................. insomnia   :-\ !!!


So with my new ability to not sleep I had a chance to get one of my sending units disassembled and then reassembled with the new hardware.

Here it is next to an assembled one using the previous hareware as well as the others ready for the new hardware:
 

Takes a bit more solder but should be bullet proof now!
