Re: Introduction and my 1975 Citicar #1522
A citicar of many Tom's. looks great!? I made battery hold downs from some scrap sheet and some threaded rod. My setup is very different in my later Citi though so it wouldn't probably help. Thanks for showing off some pics :)
On Tue, Jun 23, 2020, 3:12 PM Tom Rymes < tom@...> wrote: Hi all,
Some of you may have seen me bouncing around Facebook, looking for
answers on questions I have had since purchasing my car. I'm really
happy to have found this list, though, as I much prefer a mailing list
or Web Forum to Facebook Groups when it comes to old cars.
First and foremost, here is a link to some photos (and a few ill-shot
videos) of my car (Ignore the one where I'm struggling to figure out my
battery wiring, I got it now.):
The car is in good condition, mostly original mechanically, and I am
rapidly learning about it. There's definitely a lot more for me to
learn, and I need to get some other stuff sorted out, such as the three
or so wires hanging out of the dash over the charger, etc. Also, I'm
looking for the following, if anyone has them:
1.) Dashboard: Mine has been painted and covered with Plexiglas, so I
have lost the markings for lights and such.
2.) Battery hold-downs: I don't have any hold downs for the batteries,
so they can shift about, which is Not Good?. I'm sure I could fiddle
about and come up with something that works, but it would be nice to
find original ones, assuming that they would fit my batteries.
3.) Badging: I am trying to figure out what badges my car ought to have,
as it currently has none!
4.) Charger: The car came to me with the +48V lead on the charger
attached to the -48V terminal on the battery, and the Seller (are you on
this list, Tom?) said that it wasn't working, but did hum. I have read
in the service manual that it's possible to hook up the charger with
reverse polarity and not blow a fuse, so I'm hoping no serious damage
was done to the batteries.
5.) Batteries: The batteries are under a year old, I believe, and I
moved the charger terminal so that they charge now, but I'm really not
certain how to know when they're fully charged, and whether I should
leave the charger on longer with the ammeter in the green area so they
can equalize. Individual readings on each battery show variation from
6.6 to 6.7, still, so I assume I should keep it going, but I don't want
to overcharge, either.
OK, that's a lot, I'll save my modern charger upgrade questions for
later, and I'm bound to have a lot of questions moving forward. Thanks
for reading!
