just got my clamps. after looking at these i must say i did a pretty damn good job at the one i made . I'm debating on modifying it to work on the ak w/ the reg connection or the 1/8 jack .. decisions decisions

My boss bought an AK and wound up building his own clamps and installing ballast quick connects in the lines to switch them.

you take pics? .. im not sure i know what a ballast quick connect is without seeing it. I'm gonna stick to 1/8 jack for now in case a clamp fails, i can use the cooper .. or if it's a tight fit i can use the cooper.

Haven't seen his setup.
What he's using is something like this.

here's the latest & I'm hoping this lasts. i have an extra probe from the original set that came with the ak. if one fails i can use it w/ the clamp. i used the color heat shrink to make life easy when plugging in. only thing i don't like is the Velcro I'm using but it's temporary. the Velcro it came with tore apart when i removed it from both
Professional Member
is that the original wire that goes into the ak900 plug. looks good

thanks. yea. tried to beef up the part where it comes out of the connector with heat shrink. seems tough enough.

What kind of clamps are those. What model number is it. Where can I get it.
Professional Member*
digi-cool TS-1140. you can get them direct or from trutechtools.com ... what drsa do you have?
Professional Member*
AK900. I just got it recently. I tried the new stretchy Velcro sensors. It's very sturdy, and pretty good to use in tight spots. I mostly do residential AC.
Professional Member*
eh i didn't get the stretchy Velcro with mine. the one i got was horrible with just regular Velcro. the mod for these clamps is pretty easy & i actually like these clamps as far as what they are made out of.
Professional Member*
It looks pretty neat. Nice job. Ill try these new Velcro sensors for now. If I get tired, I'm going to try your way.

I like your setup. If I am not mistaken you can use cooper or the clamps with that. What parts did you use and where did you get them from.. Is that a 1/8" mono plug from radio shack. Thanks. Might be a good rainy weekend project
Professional Member*
thanks. yea 2 male & 2 female 1/8 jacks. used red & blue heat shrink to make it look good. I'm very pleased with the look of it as well as how it works.

I am working on the 1/8" mono plug mod. I have the female plugs installed and tried using my coopers. The ak900 is reading whatever the lowside sensor is reading. I can switch cooper sensors an they read fine. I havent used the ak900 much but it says dt. Is it that I am in the wrong mode or maybe the high side plug installed is jacked up.
Professional Member
A pic would go far.
FYI, you can use a single sensor with the AK. Press the MODE key to switch between SH and SC then High, Low and back.
Professional Member
Is it reading one or two temps?
High side and low side?
Dt is difference between them.
