Need to change the bellows and HV leads, where is a good source for (RTV) silicone? (preferably online)

I buy it from WES Components in Sydney, they generally ship in two days to cairns or overnight airbag and will accept phone orders with a credit card, or at least they used to as thats the way I did it for years. If they wont sell to you (cos your not in the trade), let me know and I can put a few tubes on our next order using our account. We generally order once a week and I can fastway it up the hill to you.

Part code and pricing is on the attached pic

Silicone RTV from Bunnings, it was clear. As long as it's RTV it works fine for HV.

For glass on NECs we used black acetic cure.


Azzad got 20l of glycol from a chemical supplier.

You have to decide whether you want 100% glycol or a 70% glycol 30% glycerol mix.

How much for pre-mixed glycol and glycerol, with delivery to Adelaide?

I would be interested in 3L, enough for 3 LC tubes and plenty to spare.

Good place for coolant.

$5.95 for 16 oz. I believe the proper mix is 70% glycol and 30% glycerin ...

Not sure if they ship to your neck f the woods but nice and clear !

I could almost chuck a rock from my backyard and break Garko's window Smile

The RTV I got at bunnings was clear. Their stock does change around I guess.
