Another report on a succession of little jobs!!! Work has been keeping me out of the country recently (!) so there have been no big sessions of work done, rather an hour here and there! I have now been able to determine what 'most' of the loom does! Once this was done, I looked at how it would fit in the car. My plan is to start the car with the entire loom in place and then carefully thin it out - experience from building an off-road buggy tells me that is the way to do it! I decided that the main relay/junction box could be installed on the left hand side of the engine bay. This allows part of the loom to go forward through the bulkhead to connect to the instruments and switches, and the engine loom to connect up easily. I will have to add in some extensions to the lighting, but that should be about it! I then looked were to mount the ECU and decided that it would sit nicely on the top of the chassis bar that mounts the left side of the engine, the added bonus being that it will be fairly easy to waterproof this! I added a small bulkhead along this mount to fix the ECU to, and also will mount the expansion tank on the other side. I have also cut short sections of aluminium tube to extend the cooling pipes, thus avoiding too many alterations to the cooling circuit. Finally, I have mounted the cooling fan onto the back of the radiator. Most of this work is not very photogenic, particularly as I had to leave in a hurry to go abroad again and didn't have time to tidy my workspace............
Back home in a couple of weeks so hopefully some photos will follow...!
