Just had a few days of crisis, as i tried to start the engine but everything was completely dead and i feared the worst, i.e. that the after market electronic ignition was dead
So i decided to be brave and i stripped all of the front loom apart and quickly found where the problems were. i.e. when one of the previous owners had done the alternator conversion they had made a number of..... interesting mods to the wiring loom!
Those have all now been ripped out and replaced with proper connections and wiring and I'm proud to say that 25 minutes ago, i started the engine for the first time!
And what a hell of a noise it makes
