Short Sunday Session - Part 1:
Managed to squeeze a bit of car time in today…
Initially, the weather wasn't looking too good, so I only unwrapped a section of the car.
Used a torch to help me see what I was doing, as I tackled the old fuse box.
Pulled out all the old connections.
Then fitted new connections, using a mixture of 'normal' & 'piggy back' connections.
Everything was looking good until I tried to connect these to the fuse box…
The normal connectors went in fine.
But the piggy back ones couldn't be pushed fully over the fuse box blades.
Plus, there were too many multiple wire connections going into the fuse box.
So I had no choice but to cut off all the multiple wire connections connectors and start again.
This time, re-wiring them into a single connector like so.
I then spent ages trying to work out the best location for fitting the fusebox to the bulkhead.
In the end, one of the battery box walls was going to work well, so I removed the rest of the car covers and removed the battery.
Put the bolt heads in from the battery box side.
So the bolt threads would be in the cockpit side. (Excuse the poor photo.)
The fuse box could then be fixed into place.
