This is no less than the third post dedicated to the battery panel but where as the previous two posts, this one actually finishes with a complete job. This is what the panel looked like prior to last nights work. Looks like it is done but to be honest, the panel is not screwed down [...]

This is the circuit for the brake warning light in the dash board. This light will come on if the handbrake is on or if the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir drops too low. In both cases, it is a simple switch to ground to activate the warning light. So when [...]
The fog light was the only light not fitted earlier in the week as I needed to make a quick bracket. This allows the for light to be bolted to the rear back chassis. The wiring was already in place so I just needed to bolt the light on.
As I had done a far amount of wiring prior, I was working under the assumption that fitting and wiring the lights would be a quick job but in truth, it took nearly two days! This is mainly because I had tested the front lights and indicators by lashing the wires up. Once I had [...]
With nothing else to do while the side panel glue sets, I spent a little time tidying cables and adding some extra trunking to make it all look neat (and cool). This is dull work but it all has to be done and it does make it look cooler in my opinion. Before I did [...]
As mentioned in a previous post, the recent work on sorting the wiring loom has thrown up a number of problems with the original dashboard loom I built way back at Christmas time. Basically, each savage switch on the dashboard has two connectors (pins 1 and 2) and when pressed, these become a closed circuit. [...]
I have been working on the battery panel on and off for weeks so I thought I would add a few pictures to the blog to see what I have been doing. I started with a cardboard template for the shape I wanted. Here we can see the battery holder on the cardboard panel. I [...]
Mounting the battery is a little bit of a problem for me as without any bodywork to reference (yes, I still have no bodywork!) it is difficult to know where to mount the battery where is it accessible, safe and most importantly, to fit with the wiring loom. After some thought, I decided to make [...]
Here is the indicator circuit that drives both the indicators and the hazard warning lights. I have posted this diagram before but I left off a small but vital detail last time, namely the constant 12v feed to pin 49 on the flasher relay. This is the voltage that drives the entire circuit so it [...]
