MEXICOWANDERER
Sep 21, 2016Explorer
I like doing things once. I found years ago lazy engineers tend to make stuff that does not fail. A second design workup is too much needless work. It did not take me long in life to figure out a krap part with a lifetime warranty is only intelligent if the store is within walking distance of the failure, and the parts supply and store will be around forever. A three dollar socket returned using six dollars in gasoline or shipping is a stupid (excuse me, financially unwise) choice. Quicksilver, goes to Brenda and Jesús, which will end up being like an apartment. How they managed to hot galvanize dip a 38' bus I will never know, but if kept electrically isolated from earth ground. the coating plus 11 pounds of zincs will keep the steel from rusting. The salt air acts like a conductor for the zincs to protect.
When I rebuilt alternators 100% of them were superior in durability and lifespan to the original. Can't do that anymore - Transpo, and Renard stuff is made in China garbage now.
But this controller and the LED lights, I hope they all are operating in 2030 long after I am gone. Mexico is not the land of surplus electronics and exotic materials. Indeed the moniker for the country could read: Just - Get - By
