3. If necessary, assemble the hinge base with anti-rotate tube onto the slip ring.
See the next figure.
Note Typically this step is only required for new slip rings. After the assembly
is complete, there should be no need to disassemble it except if a
component becomes damaged.
A. Connect the cable to the slip ring.
B. Wrap the slip-ring connector and cable connector with butyl rubber
shrink tape (MTS part number 100-175-781 or equivalent).
Cut approximately 150 mm (6 in) of tape from the roll.
Remove the backing from the tape.
Stretch the tape until it is approximately 1/2 of its original width.
Begin by putting two wraps of tape tightly around the slip ring
connector and cable connector.
Continue wrapping up the connector and cable approximately 150 mm
(6 in). Overlap the tape by approximately 1/2 of its width.
C. Measure, making bends as necessary, and cut the aluminum tube to
size.
MTS provides an extra long tube with a hinge welded at one end. After
fitting the tube to your test vehicle, cut off the excess length.
D. Tap the end of the aluminum tube 5/16-18 UNC X 1.00 inch deep.
E. Insert the low-head cap screw through the delrin ball.
