Yeah, I was just rereading everything and found it. I want to reproduce your results as close as possible so I ordered some 18ga last night!

Do you guys think this stuff would work for sealing the windings? http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/ ... cal_spray/

I would be more inclined to use an epoxy as not to impair the original
coating on the wire.

That looks like it should work.

And why would you think that coating would impair the original coating? It is specifically designed for electrical components and motor windings.

A lacquer based coating will melt into the original coating
that could possibly cause a short with in the winding.
Not saying it will defiantly cause a problem but this is
a possibility.

Not sure I see where it is specifically for motor windings ?

Recommended Uses: Televisions, radios, stereos, transformers, switchboard parts, sealing electrical/electronic components.

Just leave it without epoxy. Will allow you to get a few extra wraps in there. Like I said, it's TIGHT under that flywheel.

The vibration will eventually cause a short in the winding.
Should put even a thin coating on it.

I know I read on the actual Sprayon website but can't seem to find it again. Oh well!

I tried an extremely thin coat of epoxy paste on mine and once it dried it wouldn't fit under the flywheel.

I may have missed it in this thread, but where can you buy the wire to do this? I am not ready to tackle it right now, but in the future if I can get my hands on a spare coil I think I would like to try it.

I bought mine off Ebay. This is the guy I used: http://myworld.ebay.com/tech-fixx/?_trksid=p4340.l2559 Not the cheapest but it is quality wire and he shipped extremely fast.

Thanks man, I see that guy is in Pittsburgh so shipping will be fast when I decide to do this haha.

When someone can, this should be a sticky.

Something I've wondered is if there ought to be a general "How-to" section of the forum along with the hybrid and fork swap areas, where these kinds of things can be stored and kept for future users. Might be better than keeping too many stickies at the top of the General Q&A section? Just spitballin' here ... and not trying to hijack the thread either.

Yeah, an "archive" area would be nice. Only admin/mods could add threads but members could still post in the threads there kind of thing.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the wire diameter that was used? I can then sort out which gauge to buy.

All the best
