Re: Trumpy Bolts
I have been annoying rob and VP on chat waiting from bolts for my trump card to connect the 7805 to the heatsink so I can actually use it!

A M3 nut and a M3 x 10mm or M3 x 6mm (depends on if heatsink fitted) machine screw normally work well

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

Re: Trumpy Bolts
According to my calipers the hole in Trumpcard is smaller than an M2, I used M1.6 bolts.1024MAK wrote:A M3 nut and a M3 x 10mm or M3 x 6mm (depends on if heatsink fitted) machine screw normally work well

Re: Trumpy Bolts
Ahh, what a strange size PCB hole for a regulator
Is a heatsink fitted?

Re: Trumpy Bolts
Yes the heatsink is also the vanity cover.
And yes its a very odd choice of hole, there is penty of room on PCB there for a M3 hole through and the casing would only have needed a lip a little extended.
Hopefully you can just see the regulator peeping out.

Re: Trumpy Bolts
I've seen it from the first pic, thanks anyway, but it's not very "Miracle-alike", isn't it?
Interesting to see, I never realized, that the TC isn't an SQB, no PAR port.
