Button type solenoid cover

Dextrous · Post by **Dextrous** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 1:23 pm

I believe that the wiring end of the button type solenoid use to have a rubber cover. If so, does anyone know where to get them or know of a suitable substitute?

Stefan's site shows it here on the right

Many thanks
Andy

It came with his tractor, original equipment so I'll have to improvise.

I'm sure there will be something in black PVC from Anne Summers that will fit

Solenoid caps are for repairing a solenoid not the insulating cover so back to square one. I'll find something suitable.

Hills Rubber, 85 Bedford Rd, Reading, RG1 7EZ, 0118-958-0535 is an old-school rubber company. Might be worth a phone call.
All the best,

By coincidence i lathed apart a solenoid with rubber cap last weekend and gave the rubber end to my youngest son. If he still has it and you still need one I'll send it.

BTW that solenoid failed through water ingress after 2 years and sadly it was from Malcolm Hipperson. But he replaced it without question.

Hi Rob

If you still have the cap I'll definitely have it!

Work pressures has slowed down the dexta's restoration but I can see a few opportunities for some tractor tinkering coming up. Many thanks for the front axle carrier you donated. It is now in Doncaster with my folks and is heading my way in the next couple of weeks, about the same time as my front axle pivot spacers will be ready.
