Got the original alt wire out from the loom

Feed through the firewall and above the heater matrix :) Going to tidy up that mess later lol

Image

Now to add the fuse to the cable

Image

Image

All done :)

Image

Looks not too bad after the back of the glovebox was cut out :)

Image


Need to get some ring connectors for the 150a breaker Befor I can do anything with that, so will just wait till the battery gets here to do that :)

Not much of an update but we did say we would sort out the mess of the loom lol

Image

Dug more of the alt cable out the loom and decided it's best to just put it though the ecu plug grommet

Image

Got it through and gave the loom a wee tidy up and then pluged in the rest of the plugs into the ecu Image


Image


Engine mounts and battery are on the way.

going to try and wire in the turbo timer tomorrow too Image
