From: "Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org> > Can anyone tell me which voltage these are for? I suspect that they are > 6V, but don't want to just assume that. I measured the cold resistance of these 2 choke covers. Both measure about 2.5 Ohms, cold. The part #s are 341 129 191/192. At 7 V this would dissipate about 20 Watts, but the actual power would be less, because the resistance will increase significantly as they warm up. At 14V this would come out to 80 Watts, which is way too much, unless the resistance goes WAY up with temp, which is certainly possible. If these are 6V covers, then I would expect 12V covers to measure about 10 Ohms. If these are 12V covers, then I would expect 6V covers to measure about 2/3 Ohm. Would one of you out there with a known voltage cover please measure its cold resistance and let me know what resistance you get for that voltage? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
