    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just wondering how the HEI modules are hoding up. I've got a pair coming on monday ... has your heat sink been sufficient thus far? And how did you deal with the diodes and resistor? I'm thinking about soldering them on a very small piece of perf board and shrink wrapping it all in line with the leads ... I'd be curious to know how you did it.

I made a small aluminium box and put one module on the base and one on the lid the components are just soldered securely. The box is then potted with epoxy making it watertight and secures all the components. Do not forget to use the heatsink paste that comes with the modules
 
So far so good with me. I simply soldered the leads of my resistors and diodes in parallel with about 75% of the leads overlapping. Slipped some heat shrink over them and bend the end leads with some pliers to tighten them down under the mounting nuts. I probably should have make a board and used a little project box, but this is holding up for me. No heat issues yet, but I haven't gone for some really long rides yet either.
