cheers in advance!


P.s car is now at MNR- marc has kindly created a bit of spare room for me to work- so i had a chance to take some proper pitures and make a decent avatar- looking good i recon!

Let me get this straight.

Your car is at MNR and you're on here asking us for advice?

Madness

Saying that I'd be interested on advice on this because I'm getting close to that stage now that I'm allowed back in the garage

Why didn't you just finish building it, instead of taking pictures?

I am going to finish it, when i get away from work and spend some time down there sorting it!!

Im going after work 2mora (3ish) til bout 9/10 to get some hard work into it!!


....i dont want/shoudnt bother marc every 2mins when im there asking questions- he is trying to run a business!!..........
.......or was until i turned up and im taking up valuable space!



Its great when i take i breather.....step back... sit down ...take a hard look at the car.......and relise im resting on his GT40


Im only asking for advice before i travel 100 miles down there and relise ive forgot sumthing....i might go 2mora and relise the wiring is simple and i might just get it all done without a hassle!..........but i doubt it

One thing I learned about wiring - it ALWAYS takes about ten times longer than you think it will!


Krismc - 26/6/06 at 08:51 PM

Loom is in and nearly done just the steering wheel side and dash lights!


a new loom to make for my guages (x7) and switches !

and a bag of wire with my MS ECU!

Just remember to keep the smoke in the wires......

I have that problem too!!
But how does the smoke travel through the wire?
Its the same every time,when something packs in the smoke escapes,beats me!

..........no comments required for that one

I found the wiring manual very straight forward to follow IF you stay cool and think twice before any crimping.
You just have to find if you have a later or earlier sterring column (just follow their steps) and you are fine to go.

Best regards,
