Glenn's dragster thread
GlennLever:
In this video there is an Intro into how to create battery terminal ends.
To do the battery cable ends on the Dragster (and the 49 at some point) I bought an intermediate terminal crimping tool. It failed to hold the crimp and did not have a good enough selection of dies to go one step smaller.
This tool had more dies, and a better selection of dies in the range I needed (once I knew what I needed), and was much cheaper, harbor freight cheap.
Interestingly there was no company name on the box or the one page of specifications.
There was a label on the pump “YQK 300” which when Googled brings up a list of resellers (E-Bay, Amazon, etc.)
I believe it will sever it’s propose.

Deutsch Connectors, Assembly Instructions, Disassembly, Crimp Tool
In this, "How To video", I talk about Deutsch Connectors.
I Assemble and Disassemble, the new to me Deutsch connectors.
Up to now I have used Weather Pack Connectors.
I think I like the new Deutsch Connectors better, with the exception:
1) That everything is smaller, harder for these fat fingers to maneuver the small parts
2) Harder for these old eyes to see the numbers on the backs of the connectors and to thread the wire into the connector.
I do like the positive feeling of the connections, and will be making the switch.

In this video I show how I have been making the battery /starter cables for the Front Engine Dragster.

Dragster Update – Custom Belt Guard -- 2018 05 08
This video shows the build of a blower belt guard from scratch. The steps required, the skills, the effort and the finished product.
I asked my son, who is a very talented fabricator, to create the belt guard. What my son made is well beyond my capability.
Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed seeing the process evolve to the finished product.
I know it is long, but I think the content makes it worth it.
