A day of electrics. I started by fitting the headlight rim retaining clips, easier than it seemed once you identified where they should go. Then I switched to the back of the car. Last week I decided I did not like the lighting format and would have needed a reflectors set as well. SVC had a combination reflector rim with insert reversing light for one and fog for the other so i ordered those and will return the others once I'm sure these are OK. It was back to taping, measuring etc then drilling out the third pair of holes. The hole saw that had hidden last week was only 79mm and I needed 93mm for the new holes. Nev had a pneumatic deburring tool that made life great, plus this time I also knew where the coarse rasp file hid. Once that was done I switched to wiring in the headlights and indicators at the front. To my delight a sidelight worked and Nev and I worked our way through fuses and relays and got the dip and main lights and intermittent wipers going. It's not straightforward even with the Premier instructions! I need a relay for the indicators and hazard system but the hazard column light now works.
Then I switched to the rear lights, eventually routing the rear loom under the rear frame, round the tank and back in via the boot sides. By the time I had got the wires identified and ends stripped and female connectors clipped on it was time to stop.
I need the relay mentioned, some male and female connectors, connector blocks and I need to find out if I need an extra heat sink for the rear indicators. Good day!
