Paul Thompson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well today I attempted the wiring!-don't look like I got much done but all day and managed to get starter,alternator,main earths etc in. tomorrow I have just got to wire in the fuel pump relay and clip everything up,should have seen her running tomorrow but some dope forgot to order a fuel filter!:wack: Getting there............ Nice one Daz and good work, that'll be one quick MOFO of a Tranny, but if it were me I would have mounted the ECU (if that is what it is on the bulkhead) the other way up, stop water getting into the cables and connector ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to put it in the cab but meant extending the loom/more work,so will probably make a rubber cover for it!:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
