Frustrating Friday - Part 2:
I've decided to fit a P clip to "steer" the wiring loom away from the hinges & this will also act as an earthing point.
I did the same thing on the other side, where I also had to add an earthing ring to the end of this wire.
I'd rather not talk about just how long it took me to clean up the mess I made around the fixing brackets using hand files and sand paper.
( Couldn't risk putting my angle grinder anywhere near my lights. )
The only good thing was they had set solid and this allowed me to use temporary ties to hold the loom in place.
Bonnet Open:
Bonnet Closed:
I just need to add some foam padding underneath the connection block to protect it from vibration.
The only way I could get a half decent photo of the whole of the front loom in position was by standing on the front wheel.
Next Steps:
- Sort out the earthing points in the boot area for the rear wiring loom.
- Fix the wiring for the number plate light.
Whilst it was frustrating that the time burnt on the fibreglass work, meant I ran out of car time to finish those last few couple of wiring jobs today.
But overall, I am pretty pleased that I am now very close to connecting the battery and testing all the lighting in situ.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
