peer agreement (net): +1segment of a circle for angular tightening Explanation: I think this is some kind of guide, perhaps a piece of cardboard, showing a circle divided into segments. It enables you to tighten components by exactly the right angle. If you click on the platypus link below, you'll see what I mean. Pour le serrage angulaire, tu fabriques un secteur gradué que tu fixes sur ta clé et tu fais un repère au fil de fer comme sur la photo du post #146. http://platypus.burrow.free.fr/platypus/images/secteur220.jp... http://www.planete-citroen.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-729... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2019-05-27 16:58:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's best to click on the planete-citroen link first if you're to understand my reference. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-05-27 18:04:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or maybe "Segmented circle". |

quadrant for angular tightening Explanation: Without knowing the actual form it takes, one would be tempted to use 'segment' as Phil has done, which is indeed one common translation for 'secteur'; however, in my ownn(admittedly limited!) experience, these often seem to be quadrant-shaped — it it were a half-circle, it would then be like a 'reporteur' or 'protractor'. This is used, of course, when the tightening instructions are something like "tighten a further ¼ turn" beyond some reference tightening position. |
