Preparing for Engine Start - 3

Spent a couple of more hours on the temporary dash - Warning lights fitted and most of the wiring done - ran out of spade terminals!All that is left to do is fit the engine earth strap, wire up the fans, fit and wire up the oil pressure sensor, fit and wire up the water temperature sender and connect the starter motor and alternator.

It is perhaps not the tidiest thing on earth but then it's not permanent!

Hi Simon,

Looking good.

You probably have thought of this but if that big red cable is going straight to the battery + might I suggest fitting a suitable fuse in line before your distribution stud. Other wise a short between the + & - could see over 400 Amps heading your way! Also be tempted to insulate the + & - studs in some way. Hate to see a bonfire!

Good point - bit early for november 5th....... I've now fused each circuit.

Cheers
