At the 30 minutes mark, in stead of cutting the entire length and stripping away the insulation, you should just cut the width like Edd did, but keep the insulation intact and slide it towards and perhaps over the crimp connector. This way you get a nice and small opening for the gland “fingers” to connect to the shielding. No tape, no shrinking tube. That makes it much neater and easier to install. Little hint from an electrician 😉
I have done similar wiring and just cut a local section of insulation out where the earth gland goes but your idea is even better as it avoids the heat shrink. I’ll remember that one !

In the next episode Edd actually endorses this (great) suggestion, with a demonstration. He's delightfully open to ongoing learning from any source, which does not usually happen when people attain celebrity.
I really love how much you engage with your audience! Keeps the show grounded and real, much better than most garage "shows"that are mostly infomercials.
Hi Edd, I have only just found your channel, having been an avid fan of your car repair programme in which you showed us how to fix our cars (and someone else took the credit!! (Dig)) Your delivery is amazing, your advice is superb. I am an engineer from days gone by, and it is wonderful to see the new inventions that you are showing- if only they were available in my day... hahaha.
The brass fittings look very much like the Tectite ones we use in the plumbing trade, it’s the exact same release tool. Same pipe cutters as well. Always mark a sharpie tick on the pipe so you know you have full pipe slip into the fitting.
@eddchina you have accomplished it all it since leaving the show and to start on your own takes a lot of guts to do this. love the new workshop. WELL DONE!!!
Just wow! That electric motor part looked amazing. I'm into electronics, I like soldering and fixing smaller stuff so watching you working on those huge cables was fascinating. And the fact that you know a lot about traditional cars and also well-versed in EV technology is also amazing! I guess those parts aren't cheap so you can't go buy all kind of parts to try and play with them. I imagine the planning going into it with all the mounting points and stuff but you make it look so easy.
Your the first mechanic that I have viewed that showed how to electrify a vehicle. A huge Kudos goes to you embracing the future. I hear about it almost everyday working around the automotive industry.#MilwaukeeChristmas
The sexy hair blowing bit and the "job done," have to be some of my favorite Edd China moments going all the way back to 2002. I laughed far too hard, and it was much needed!
So refreshing to see it all come together. As a viewer of the show and technician I appreciate the dedication to the vehicle(s) but also the way Edd takes us into a journey to the final product. So refreshing to watch.
Great job as always! You kept my love for mechanics and cars alive through the years. Also today, when I drive electric since 2012, it really makes me happy that you are making this icecream-van project! Fab! Keep them coming!
I was wondering why RWC/shark-bite was sponsoring Edd's channel, I had no idea about the new air system, that is awesome... makes me want to redo my current PEX system, I like that the Aluminum will not rust like steel setups, but still has better heat/impact resistance/cooling ability than poly lines or PEX 👍 this video might get expensive for me 😄 Thanks to these actually great companies for sponsoring Edd!
A bit of Lubrication helps and we met your WIFE!!!! I got back into reading your book again as I only do on lovely Summer days in our garden. Our Almera Tino broke its rear pipe and sounded great but struggled to clear the speed humps. Honestly some of Readings Roads are so bad you have to constantly weave and slow. Love David and Lily.
Edd keep up the good work was nice to see that you were doing something different. It shows that you take care of your tools and workshop, Keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this little diversion, something your last show would never have covered although during my apprenticeship if I had blasted my face with the air line I would have been booted 😂 brilliant video, your going from strength to strength, love it, what a top bloke.
Loved this. I'm a old school carburettor and points mechanic. But, seeing this, it made me realise that so many of our old cars don't need to be scrapped. Surely, we'll get to a point where a 'motor/gearbox' combo can be bought off the shelf and millions of cars can have their petrol engines recycled, and the character preserved with an integrated new electric system.
This show is just so awesome. The average Joe can ask this superstar questions about their beat up cars. Edd gives such good advice, helping people and getting awesome content for his show at the same time. Great concept and hope it carries on for a long time to come
Used to watch WD all the time as a kid in the states but fell off a few years back. I only today learned you left! But I’m glad to have found your channel! Cheers
I really loved this episode! I think it was the best till now. It was long, lots of information and tips, and relaxed and funny. Thanks Edd, you're the best!
Okay, so let me be the first to say I'm glad he kind of glad he addresses the lack of work on the RR and says why and now I get it. and that's all I'm really asking for is to keep all of us in the loop
I used the connectors to install a hot water heater. I saved a fortune on a plumber. Shark Bite is great. Home Depot sells them here in the states. Love ya Big Guy.
Nice to know they where made in u.k. I love shark bite connectors work great for pluming air anything. Also i use that exact fuel filter on my kz750. Works great
Just to be a bit picky you should have run the down pipe past the pressure adjuster/filter to form a condensate sump with a drain valve on the bottom. All compressed air systems create a mixture of water and, usually, oil that collects in the piping even if it is overhead. This liquid can really ruin a paint job and water does not do air tools any good.
Edd, we were so worried about your future, or at least u was, wishing you your own platform. And it took a while, and of course knowing now what kind of cracking plan you had, maybe not able to divulge too much too early. Now having watched already several episodes, I am simply baffled and impressed with the way you managed to carve out your own little (large!) corner on YT, and we have been able to enjoy your quiet exceptionalism and professionalism, eye for detail and joy in your work which we came to love so much. So happy for you mate, well earned accolades giving you this great tech cave. Love every minute of your series!
Great videos brother Long time technologist myself Appreciate the skill level, ingenuity and cleverness of your ability. I also like the fact that you look for help when you need it In my humble experience the more you learn the more you realize how little you know Great show Thank you BC US NAVY SEABEES CM2
Mr Edd ( not the horse) I have been watching you for years doing your thing with combustion engine's and I as many others presumed that the engine is on its death row. Not so! Watching you put together that electric motor has show me how wonderful and beautiful it can be. I'm totally impressed and enjoyed that an engine can still look exciting and aw inspiring for the future. Fantastic. Thank you.
Great video thanks Edd. Love the camera work too, top marks to the camera person as the shallow DOF and tight framing are superb and I know from experience add many many hours to the job at hand, but well worth it.
Great info! I am a 1 man hobby garage so my wheeled compressor just follows me around. By the way never spray compressed air against yours or someone else's body.
I am loving these videos!! I’ve been a lifelong petrol head but warming to ev’s (just put a deposit on a Vivaro e people carrier). I love how you take pride in everything you do Edd!! Let’s hope this channel keeps growing and growing :)
I couldn't watch on Friday, but Saturday was just as good a time to watch some "Edd"-ucational programming. I like how Edd keeps his shop neat and tidy - a clean work area is a safe & professional work area. I also appreciate that Edd kept us up to date on the projects....some people think that Edd should be able to pop down to the corner auto parts store & get whatever he needs to finish any project - smh.
Top tip. At 8:49 mark the pipe in its final position, as if pushed into the brass connector. When the brackets are loose and you push the pipe home, you'll know it's fully locked in when the pipe is straight, rather than displacing some of the pipe.
Well that was an action packed episode, and very informative. I have to say, it easily rivals programs produced by major TV networks! Really interesting to see the processes involved with electrifying the ice cream van.
my garage, 12 feet wide(about 3.7 meters) by 24 feet(about 7 1/2 meters) was hard piped to a portable compressor hook up, was a carpenter, needed my compressor on job, so had a dedicated electric outlet and a air hose fitting with a short about 2 foot pig tail, rt in front corner of garage, pull up, grab compressor out of back of van and plug compressor in , had air. had fittings at all 4 corners and centrally located on long wall
Seriously though Edd. Watching you assemble, measure, clean, cut, disassemble and fettle is as marvellously soothing as watching MyMechanics or TsyTube do sandblasting and polishing. You know what? You should ask one of them to make something for you.
There’s you with your Milwaukee Crimper & Heat gun. Then there’s me chuffed with my home made 96MM socket because I can’t afford to buy one off BPW 😂. Glad your back but I miss you working out of a Teng box 😂.
Loctite 577 is absolutely brilliant for metal on metal air/water joints - no need for ptfe tape, perfect airtight seal (better than I could get with ptfe) no leaks, and best of all you can position the fittings exactly in the right place like your pressure gauge etc without any leaking once cured... All removable too, not 100% permanent... I've used on air fittings, outside water tap (to get it nicely oriented), even pressure washer snowfoam lance after disassembly to clean gauze filter (also needed to be lined up right).
I think they know, that's why they have branding and dedicate half an episode to showcase the product (aka ad) instead of paying but also that's the point, most of us won't be able to afford this ever or just need it. So where else would we see it in such details and dream about having such nice toys ^^
Always good practice to measure and mark the insertion depth on the pipe for any push-fit connections so that you know it's fully home. I believe I saw one on the 2nd to last connection (I think) Edd made...perhaps not required if it's already scratched to buggery from being inserted before. Keep up the good work Edd!
Love that "Loreal" moment when you'd finished the airline job! You're so worth it!
That was a really funny touch!
And the sparkle on the tooth.
A bit sus but ok tim
@@smashyrashy just a bit of fun.
Though blowing yourself with an airgun is not the smartest thing to do, it can blow oils through the skin then your orange gloves were all in vain.
Whoever did that original install did a great job. Plenty of hangers and the correct ones at that.
Thank you. It was me 🙋🏼♂️
@@tombradshaw4508 nice work
With your penchant for changing your shirt for the scene, I couldn't help but think it would be a perfect opportunity for an AC/DC tee.

Love it that all the new air pipe controls, valves and connectors are perfectly placed for anyone 6'8" or taller.
So good to see you on UA-cam. Really missed you teaching us to repair things. You’ve turned engineering into an adventure.

Edd China the David Attenborough of the automotive world...
Ha. Yes, now that you say it...
Well said

That old fool, David Bellamy was far far better.
That is high praise. Totally justified as well

By far the best automotive series on YT. Excellent content, production , editing and our course presentation.
That Range Rover must have the record for the longest "will it start" video.
Haha 😂

Thanks for the great show on high current cables!
The sexy hair blowing bit and the "job done," have to be some of my favorite Edd China moments going all the way back to 2002. I laughed far too hard, and it was much needed!
Ed would have been better to think safety, glasses as you do when working on cars etc
Ah! There's nothing quite like cooling off with a high pressure airline on a hot day! As a work colleague of mine used to say "Orrrr yas!"
Episodes are as long as wheeler dealers love it.
So refreshing to see it all come together. As a viewer of the show and technician I appreciate the dedication to the vehicle(s) but also the way Edd takes us into a journey to the final product. So refreshing to watch.

A bit of Lubrication helps and we met your WIFE!!!!
I got back into reading your book again as I only do on lovely Summer days in our garden.

Edd blowing his hair cracked me up. I’m frigging jealous!!
The box tubing mount & the wiring.. *chefs kiss* looks brilliant. I was really impressed with how it came out. Excited to see it go in!
I've learned how jealous I am of that man lift. Also that motor and controller arrangement looks real nice! Thanks for the video Edd!
Edd is back! Engaging humanity around auto repair. Better than ever.
You’re able to make a complicated device seam remarkably straight forward!

Nice work on the Van motor. Looking forward to it getting installed.
sharkbite is actually useful. I used to to replumb my exterior faucets around my house. took all the worry about soldiered joints out of the equation.

That electric controller build is awesome.
I used the connectors to install a hot water heater. I saved a fortune on a plumber. Shark Bite is great. Home Depot sells them here in the states. Love ya Big Guy.
@King Edward We call it a permit here in the states.
Really satisfying video content. Thanks Edd for making things looking so easy even if they aren’t. A fan from Algeria.

Really liked seeing a clip of the BMW engine, nice to see what other people are doing.
I was always taught PTFE stood for "Put The Fecker Everywhere".
Too much AvE ?
Plumbers Tape For Everything.
Everyone knows it stands for Pipe Tape For Engineers ...
A more common name for PTFE is Teflon...used as a non-stick coating in cookware.

Fingers crossed!...

Always good practice to measure and mark the insertion depth on the pipe for any push-fit connections so that you know it's fully home. I believe I saw one on the 2nd to last connection (I think) Edd made...perhaps not required if it's already scratched to buggery from being inserted before.
