Still messing with the wiring
I have needed to wire in two relays to get the Geartronics indicator to only enable the reverse circuit when in neutral and the second so the display shows "R" when reverse is activated.
I have also decided to have a timer relay for the heated screen and have the relay for the rad cooling fan all in one place, I was also looking at the load that goes through the ignition switch to power all the ignition controlled circuits, so have elected to install a monster relay (100A) to take the load and provide tidier distribution posts for my loom, pictures to follow when its a bit tidier;)

While I was re arranging my loom so that some of the wire runs were better I was able to remove stuff like this....

I also made quite a neat bracket for the ambient air and intake air pressure sensors

With the the loom layout pretty much as it will finish (except for taping) I have started to mount the various components on a temporary piece of ali sheet, ignore the spare holes and lack of grommets.

Bulkhead side panels will have this detail on their outer edges

The engine supply / car connections from front to rear will go through these connectors, probably not the best quality but should be ok in the dry, again this is temporary with the connectors attached to wires that are waaay too long.

After initially eliminating the clutch switch from my plans this happened to my boy, he was stood between two cars when one of then was accidentaly started in gear..........

So I have decided to incorporate the clutch switch in my build...................
I bought this but it seemed too fiddly to fit.

So i went with a micro switch this is the Mk1 version my next effort is way better and you will have to wait for a pic of that

I have bought these bad boys to fix to the oil cooler I intend these to run all the time the ignition is on

Oh and it seems Santa came early........................
