like these:



Only need one to connect MIG earth to calmp. Note sure what wire size is.

I know VWP sell them but postage is a fiver plus delay so I am trying to avoid that route.

Anybody got one going spare? (I may have one at home but not sure, sod's law it'll be wrong size :mad. Or where to buy on high street?

ive got some, possibly m6 though (will check when i get home) but could probably be drilled to m8.

can pop 1 in the post if needed.

As alraedy stated they come in 6mm or 10mm wire size.
also what diameter hole do you need?


02GF74 - 26/3/09 at 08:07 AM

thanks for offers - hole is 8 mm - clue is post title!

I wasn't able to measure wire diameter (or work out cross section) - it is clarke MIG 120 (about 20 yrs old eek!!!?!?)

OI don;t wanbt folks sending me stuff that may not fit and I need it for the weekend; also I may have one as I bought a small selection but again did not look.

I may get away with a copper pipe but hopefully measure up tonight.

I did some measuring - the cbale od (inc insulaiton is 7 mm) so I am guessing 4 mm diameter, allowing for 1.5 mm insulation.

on the cable itself it states 10 mm 2 - this works out to be 3.6 mm diameter; seems quite thin to me.

I am gonna have a go making my own from some 10 mm copper clutch pipe and see how that goes since time is of the essence, else whoever has one for hte above then I can pay paypal.

ta.

summary
8 mm hole for 10 mm2 wire (approx 4 mm dia.)

do it the locost way strip about an inch or so of the insulation then put it inside a piece of 15 mm copper tube flatten tube then drill a hole
