Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi fellas, All I've been able to find in disc mags that are 2"x1/2" are only rated for 80c temp. if I can cool the genny enough will this temp. rating work?If your not living on the edge your taking up to much space!

This temp rating is normal for neo's above N40. My 2"x1/2" round disks are N38 and 120C rated.

Hi Gordon, I've looked around on the web here in the states and have not had any luck finding any disc's that are below N40 grade. Can you tell me where I might find them?If your not living on the edge your taking up to much space!

hi David
just a thought..but even here in ireland on a hot day ..(alas a beautiful but rare thing .. ) the temp on a car bonnet can easily hit 60/70 degrees c ....80 seems a bit close ... Edited by niall1 2009-04-12niall

Hi DaViD,
I purchased my mags in Aus, from a ferrite and mag importer called Neosid. A lower temp rating give the undesirable possibility of unequal flux loss. If SaCo were more powerful, these would be the go.
