There are 300 W LED light bars.   300 W / 12 V = 25 A.

That's a good idea.

Somewhere around here I have a link to a CB page where they had a 1 kW CB
transmitter in an automobile. They had thre, maybe four, alternators.

One regulator won't work because the two alternators won't respond
the same.

Trying to get the non-adjustable regulators to exactly match each
other just won't happen.

There is no good way to balance the load between two alternators.
But it may not matter.  So the one carries all the load until it
can't keep up and the the other one joins in.  

That is, if "A" is set just a bit higher than "B", then "B" will
be functionally off until the voltage drops lower than the set
point for "A" - which will happen when "A" can't keep up.  I don't
know - but I think this will work just fine.

Or - just run the lights off the second alternator.  Total
isolation from the start battery and engine electronics.  You
could add a second battery and have two isolated systems - with a
manual switch to link them in "emergency" situations such as self-jump
start, alternator failure, etc.

Re: [MBZ] Semi-OT: Dual alternators?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

With that kind of amp draw per light bar, I'm thinking they must be Halogen
bulbs, which in todays LED world are "old stuff".
First, ask what lights he is wanting to run. Then suggest he switch to
LEDs, which are much lower amp draw and much better light.

Just switched to an LED landing light on the Aeronca Sedan and it is
magnitudes of better light, with much less amp draw, so I am a full convert
to LED because of that.

IF he insists on going the high amp draw and adding a second alternator, I
suggest that alternator be wired into a completely separate bank of
batteries with a dedicated wiring harness which ONLY runs the high amp draw
lights. That way, the start system and the "lighting system" do not kill
each other and leave you to walk home, in the snow, in the dark.

I've seen articles on dual alternators for aircraft, but they are usually
for totally redundant electrical systems, not twice the amps.

buying leds would be cheaper.  (or are these leds consuming 24 amps?)

How about he strap on his honda generator and run 120, 240,  or 277 Volt 
lights??


my one 4" aircraft landing light lit up the whole world for plowing 
snow.  It did NOT draw 24 amps @ 12 V.   Luckily, johnny law never 
stopped me tor it, but I seldom turned it on while on a road.    It

Re: [MBZ] Copart car

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

interesting!  Now that I have an engine from the SDL to use, all the 
350SDL rodbenders with bent rods have dried up.   A 124 300D with a bad 
engine would be a good candidate too.   Maybe in a  year I might have 
time to do an engine swap.   Too many projects ahead of it now.

I went and looked at this car yesterday. I put in my max bid at 475. It sold 
for $8xx. Car was clean and the low miles looks correct but it is listed as 
mechanical. Battery was not dead but unknown if it would start. Also, not shown 
in the pics is a huge dent in the rear where they must have ran it into 
sometime after the photos were taken.

Re: [MBZ] A Wheely Great Day!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Don’t tell anyone it’s not the correct wheel for the car….

The one that Jaime helped me get is actually the correct wheel for 66-67 W110s. 
It’s fatter and has two grooves in it. The original wheel for the earlier 
W110/111/112 models is thinner in cross section and has no grooves.

Of course, I’m not complaining and it’s only something that a purist would know.

Re: [MBZ] I am getting stuck on 129s now

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Even if they would the resale wouldn’t make it worthwhile after you do the top 
hydraulics and the bumper. That’s probably $1500 or more DIY. Top hydraulics 
will cost you $700-$800 for the rebuilt cylinders alone.

These cars are not flipworthy unless it’s a special one, like an anniversary 
edition or Silver Arrow.

For $4k it would be a nice “fix it up and drive it until it dies” car.

I doubt if the seller would go that low but who knows, for a bit less it 
would probably be a good deal if you factor in $1000 for the top, and 
$1000 for the bumpers.  Yeah, so maybe $4k wouldn't be a bad offer.

[MBZ] Copart car

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I went and looked at this car yesterday. I put in my max bid at 475. It sold 
for $8xx. Car was clean and the low miles looks correct but it is listed as 
mechanical. Battery was not dead but unknown if it would start. Also, not shown 
in the pics is a huge dent in the rear where they must have ran it into 
sometime after the photos were taken.

[MBZ] I am getting stuck on 129s now

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This one might not be a bad price with a bit of dickering, the issues 
are too daunting.

Total crackhead.  Car looks pretty nice but what's with the front 
grill?  Rust?

Re: [MBZ] RIV Tester FS on PP

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

And it’s slick as snot to use - it takes all of about five minutes to check and 
set the pump timing with it. A really nice purpose built tool.

Craig - yes it will work on OM602.  All OM60x with mechanical injection can
use it.  Even OM617 in 1985 can use it.
