Spagetti and Meatballs...

So... with the 101 on my driveway not progressing at a rapid pace, Mostly due to the financial constraints set by my budget, and the anticipated arrival of an ex-Discovery 200Tdi and LT77 gearbox and its ancillary components. My thoughts therefore turn to smaller, cheaper areas to work on.

My current project on the go is the Electrics, including the cab, So far I've mocked up a cardboard cutout version of my proposed dashboard and modelled it in CAD, which subject to some final checks is hopefully ready to be produced in aluminium and at the moment I am thinking about the wiring.

I intend to have a single rear loom much like the standard 101 has, however because im using the euro 13 pin trailer electrics and I also intend to have a reversing lamp and fog lamp on both sides of the vehicle, plus the usual indicators and stop tail lamps, I need to put several extra wires down the loom.

This choice therefore means that i need to make a custom rear harness which gives me the option to move the loom to follow a different route, and to start/stop in different locations.

More soon!!!
