OK, so I have sussed out where to connect the reverse light to. There are two wires that are marked up as to be used for the reverse switch - pretty bloody obvious really. When I first looked I thought it was for the reversing motor switch for the bike engined cars - we live and learn.

So the wiring loom is starting to make more sense the more testing I do, you have to just make things live and start working it all out, it's definitely not a 5min job, thats for sure. I have all this weekend to get my head around it, lets hope there's enough time to get it done for August.

Need to make a battery holder tomorrow, should have some pictures of that by the end of the weekend.

So the weekend has been spent on the wiring loom - do you know what, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Patience, a multimeter and a clear head have prevailed and I now have something that looks kinda like a wiring loom, it's not finished by any means but we are definitely making headway.

Didnt get time to make a battery holder so that'll have to wait til one night in the week.

The 'Wiring Headache' continues:

Made a bit more progress tonight after realising that I didnt have a main beam flash circuit in my setup I now have another relay in palce for that. Just a couple of photos to show the snakes wedding in progress, note the 'in progress'.......

I have to admit that although I was not experienced in auto electrics I do however have an understanding of electrics and electronics (got a GCSE in electronics) so I had the basics but was put off by the unknown. It isnt easy and is you dont have any experience of electrics or electronics then I would leave it up to the pro's.

Not for the faint hearted - thats for sure.....

Progress Report:

A busy weekend, but not all of it spent doing the car.

Mostly wiring still, placement of switches and stuff like that, not many pictures taken as its pretty boring stuff at the moment. Hope to get onto some more productive, sticking stuff on kind of work soon, even just getting to the stage putting the lights in will be a sense of acheivement.

So much to do, so little time...........
