Bugger! Anyone got a spare (broken) AFM?

[B-Reight]

Just dropped the bloody afm on the floor and shattered the black plastic cap sealing the inner gubbins. Has anyone got a knackered afm that i could liberate the cap off in exchange for beer tokens. Even a working one would do as long as you don't want eleventy billion pounds for it.

ETA- its the flap type

Oh double bks, it looks like the spring has unwound itself slightly, the flap is nearly fully open at idle now!

Anyone know the procedure for setting it? A volt reading (at pin 7 & 9) at idle maybe?

No broken ones but I have a couple of spares if you get stuck.

Does the flap swing freely throughout its range of travel? If the casing has been distorted and the flap scrapes anywhere you may as well bin it.

Think I have some data somewhere on basic flap setting... I worked it out myself having rebuilt the Jag unit on my car That particular unit was sold to me by a well-known Wedge 'guru' but the bearings were shot. Steep learning curve...

Seems fine Wedg1e, moves nice and freely with no binding. PM me with how much you want for a spare and i'll send you some beer tokens.

Ben, 12 PDF pages containing everything you could possibly want to know about your flapper AFM here,

including voltage tests, adjustments, spring fiddling etc.

Still need an afm if anyone has got one, broken or not as long as the black plastic cover is present.

Cheers

I haven't forgotten, don't worry, just need to get at my AFM stash to sort one out!
