Ego Solenoid
- Thread starter Rosie
- Start date
I'm hopefully going to be using Timmy eyes- I've got a set of ego eyes I can swap the connector with.Skeet said:
I am acquiring an ego solenoid connector which I can put on the shocker solenoid.
I am going to use a DM4 harness for the eyes.
The round timmy eyes will be too big so I might have to have the eyes enlarged/moved/whatever.
Milling; I am getting the frame milled by Strawb
.and John, thanks for the info that the ego noid would pop, lol, kind of vital
Rosie,
Why not use DM4 eyes?
The timmy eyes sometimes have strange alignment problems, DM4 eyes are alot smaller than the huge timmy eyes so should make for a nicer install.
Plus DMs use JST connectors like the Ego (timmys use Molex), which reduces the changes you need to do to the wiring loom.

Or...why not use Ego eyes? would be easier...just have to mill small bit in teh body in teh right place...and sort a cover out..Rosie said:I'm hopefully going to be using Timmy eyes- I've got a set of ego eyes I can swap the connector with.

Skeet,
Ego eyes would be an arse ache to align.
You would need some sick milling to get it all to stay in place properly.
A standard (T) package makes for easiest alignment, because its aligned by the hole it goes in. Drill your holes straight, and your eyes will be pointing directly at eachother.
Oh and from memory DM4 eyes are also used in the DM5. But not the DM6.

not been back to the thread in a while
I haven't got the eyes yet but I'll try for some DM4/5 ones if you think that'd be better
using dm eyes still means having to solder a new connector, as dms use a 3 pin plug.
to get around eye misalignment use trinity eyes for timmy, 20 degree instead if 8 for stock

Yes you will need to add one extra crimp at the plug side of the loom.
But with timmy eyes the entire loom will need changing.
Also I really dont like the idea of wide dispersal emitters, in fact (having tested practically every 'eye' system on the market) I think its the most terrible idea ever conceived.
You are treating the symptoms of a problem which never needs to be there in the first place. At the great expense of your guns potential performance.
