So today I'm stripping all the tape from the loom and separating the the engine and lighting from things that a Roadster does'nt need, such as the heavily butchered stereo wiring, aircon control (why would you want this in a rag top?) and any redundant connectors fitted as standard.
I feel a head ache is coming my way later on.....
Once you have all the black tape off its fairly straight forward. You cannot wear gloved as you cannot grip the tape and it wont wash off your hands for about a week either!

If you look online madracki publish a free wiring diagram you can follow. If you cannot find it I will send you a link.

If you don't know what something is pop up a piccy and we can all play guess the part!
