Shouldn't matter which you use as long as there's an earth.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Nothing to stop you running the loom earth out to the rear of your car and putting an earth pillar in too - that way you have a double fail safe (working on the basis that electrical failures are probably the most common fault, and that it's probably going to be a bad earth)

Thats exactly why I have maintained the -ve cables and run them to all the components that need direct -ve. Chassis, engine and fuel tank are connected as well just as belt and braces.





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!
