The bit I cant get with that is that the battery is still connected to the fuse box. Maybe by taking the alternator off-line and breaking the circuit to ground will do what they want it to.

well not much to show for 3 days hard graft, the instruments wiring has been a royal pain in the ass. also ran the car up with the new cooling system layout...all works fine, but i need a small adaptor for the radiator union as it fouls the bonnet, also made a temporary fix for the coolant overflow from the coolant header tank.... this afternoon went on a bit of a Jaunt on the Training area near my house, and just happened to stumble upon an old Lynx Military Helicopter, so liberated it of some of its wiring products!! tomorrow will get the tacho up and running...hopefully, then start tidying up all the wiring......maybe   also need to fit the isolator cut off switch, and the fire extinguisher pull handle....then i can cover the centre console switch panel |

WOOHOO. sorted the tacho.....at the end of the day, sometimes its better to ignore what the "experts" say and go with gut feeling....and a bit of re-wireing, it wasnt wired in the wrong place!, but typically Yank electronics dont work with Import electronics |

Cheers............lol. it was from the old blue one, which needed all the weight removing i could get rid off, just didnt seem sensible to destroy another glovebox well had a play with the tacho...now its working, played with the shift light settings, and fitted the shift light tachooperating.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting then made up the proper centre console mounts and trimmed the console in a bit of Alacantera i had lying around, now....the car looks like its coming together   tommorow will fit the Extinguisher pull...........(maybe) Last edited by DriftLexus; 10-04-2007 at 19:10. |
