wiring
 

Hi All
just toying around at the moment with this
has any one any idea of the wiring /cables to use ie on a 3 pin 240 volt household plug you have 3 wires approx 3mm thick. what thickness and voltage should be used on the roadster so i can buy miles of red and blue and green well you know what i mean
hope you can help
many thanks

Probably more trouble than its saving you in the long run trying to sort out which wire is which,8 core min 10 core is better.

thanks any particular thickness?

Not quite that simple...
 

misty,

your opening post is a little imprecise and it suggests you are looking for a simple straight-forward answer to an involved aspect of the build.

Suggest you have a search around the Internet there are many resources to help you out with planning your wiring. For example, have a look here:

http://www.constructorscarclub.org.n...ringpart1.html

for a 'How to wire your car' primer. Part 5 covers wire sizes and may give you some answers.

I hope you have already had a look round our site. If so you should have come across a very good thread in the summer with a thorough wiring diagram and (possible) wire sizes, by davidmurray.

There's plenty of information out there...

Hope that helps.

good info there
 

Steve, that link leads to some very handy info, that I am sure will help anyone wiring their car from stratch, I have basic electronic skills and this would help any novice, so thankyou for that I am sure will come in handy for many builders.
Personally I am hoping to transfer my wiring from the donor to try and keep it as simple as possible.

Any use?
 

misty,

did the link I provided help to answer your 'thickness' query?

sorry im late in answering YES all sorted now

many thanks
