Noob with a new mx5 Saturn build.

Ah I see! Also, you have to prove the origins of your steel!?!?!????

Yes - if you look at the thread by CTW he had an awful time getting registered - microsoft word helps clarify things no end

[Ianr]

Ooops - CTWV50 I meant

Not just the steel, you have to prove where all the major components came from if you want an age related plate. Either from a single donor vehicle or new.
CTWV50 problems start at post 583

Build up inspection report

The major components I can prove, no problem but I may need to acquire multiple invoices form the various more minor components. The eBay acc I used for the majority of purchases early on went tits up over a dispute and IU can't access the invoices for many of the parts.

Very nice build - I'm glad you kept it!

I am in the middle of working out the coolant reroute with no heater. I see you have the overflow routed into that loop. Where does your line go?

Heater at the back of the block to the overflow, then overflow to the lower mix manifold (the one you flipped around to face forward)?

Thanks!!

[norton]

Hey, the small bypass goes from manifold to lower outlet and the coolant tank connects to the reroute spacer.

Just remember a word processor is your best friend :-)

Yeah, my morales are very flexible so this shouldn’t be a problem!

My spare time has dried up but I’ve managed 5 minutes here and there and the under dash wiring is creeping forward. I’m only two wires away from being able to crank it over. I do need to pop the inlet manifold off though to get my chassis no onto the frame somewhere. My previous impatience is biting back!

Quick question about the wiring for my mk1 mx5 alternator.


It has 3 wires, one the main feed to the battery and two others in a multi plug.
I understand one will be a permanent 12v feed for the exciter circuit but the other?

I found this picture.




Which includes a warning lamp however my digi dash can monitor its own power supply and put the light on at any voltage I determine so I wouldn't need that.


So is it fair to say, assuming I've understood the picture I need two 12v inputs (one switched with ignition and the obvious main power output?
