Are you saying you've fitted modern terminal posts Dan?

Hi Geoff

Yes well the ones i got from Jamie...:) Perfect fit i have only done one so far not sure im going to do the other to match we will see.

[walpurgis]

You may be aware Dan. But the printed 'label' on the back of the terminal housing is aluminium and unless you use great care making sure the new posts are insulated from it, usually with supplied plastic bushes, the posts can short across, putting your amp at risk.

Hi Geoff

No i was no aware of this it but seems this was my problem to begin with i had with the last pair of terminals their was no washers where as the new ones fitted have so ive isolated them with these then a securing bolt.

Thank you for the advice..

Sure if he's ever in bournemouth i would love to meet him..:)

Washers won't do Dan. Collared bushes have to be used, otherwise the sides of the metal posts can come into contact with the aluminium label.

If you get stuck, you can send both terminal plates complete with crossovers attached to me and I can sort them. You'd have to make a note of wiring connections before disconnecting drivers though. Photos are best.

I've done this job on many speakers, including Ditton 15's. I'd need to order parts.

Hi Geoff

Photo attached by the bushes can i use the 2 red bits as isolation also between the back plate im sure ive done this but i will check Its all learning Your not a bastard better safe then sorry...

[walpurgis]

The "red bits" are the bushes. Note the proud collar on one. That goes through the front and insulates the post from the metal label. You may need to make the holes slightly larger to accomodate those.

If you're in any doubt about doing the job without causing damage. Let me do it.

Hi

Cool

I will have a look...:) ive only had them on a test amp nothing decent...

[dantheman91]

Will update with a photo to see if correct...:)

[dantheman91]

Hi Geoff

What its like now the black one is this OK? Please advice if not...

[walpurgis]

Looks like you've put the thick bush on the front. Use the thinner one with the protruding spigot/collar on the front with the collar going through the label and use the thick bush at the rear, then you should be OK. As I said, you may need to enlarge the holes.
