![]() EYES?
TaDa! ![]() There's loads more pictures on the stream. To fit lights i had to do this to a brand new 21mm spanner! ![]() As you can see I've moved the light up and forward to get the indicators in a IVA legal position, mimicking Caterham's design. ![]() Last edited by CTWV50 : 4th May 2014 at 09:16 PM. |

![]() After 25 hours in the garage my horn now works, well one of them anyway!
![]() Tomorrow night I should have the headlights and front indicators wired up and the fuse box and relays finalised. Leaving the dash wiring and the rear light wiring until the body work and tunnel is fitted although it will all be tested beforehand. All the steering column is wired up along with the mx5 brake switch and instrument cluster. I've made the wiring loom so that is can be unplugged from the engine loom for when I fit another engine. I've also used the mx5 wiring diagrams so that I can easily, lol, find faults in the future. |

Wiring update. After getting the fuse box all sorted and neat and all the wires needed to the front of the car, I discovered I had a popped 20Amp fuse in the (ad) fan location, I stupidly assumed this was the rad fan being tired at around 10:30pm and spent an hour looking for the problem. Couldn't find the issue and went to bed. Spent another hour in the morning looking at it again and then realised it wasn't the cooling fan fuse at all! Just some f***ng random fuse that doesn't appear anywhere in the wiring diagrams and is for the fan if you have Aircon. WTF the car never came with aircon why did they fit a fuse that's some how now pops whenever it's replaced. Bit p***d off about that. Anyway I ended up checking all my wiring out sort of and couldn't find a single problem which I suppose is good. Tonight I never got into the garage till 9pm, two hours later i had fully functioning head lamps ! So I guess this little modification worked ![]() Clocks at night ![]() Main Beam ![]() side lights in the garage ![]() |

![]() All light wiring for me is now done. One trunk of 16mm split conduit takes the wiring from the steering column to the fuse box and then back out to the front, back and clocks. Worked out quite neat but have had to order more 16mm p-clips, some ballast resistors for the led side repeaters and some 6mm split conduit to finish it off. I put the pump wiring into this conduit to the rear. When the bodywork is on I'll finish the wiring at the rear. I'll take some photos of the wiring when it's finished. As it stands currently, flattened the battery leaving the ignition on! ![]() I've made a start on the side panels for the tunnel and ordered some foam and black vinyl. I also have some carbon fibre look ABS plastic for the dash. Can't really get my head around the fact I'm thinking about interior trim! Weird! Am I really that far along? I must of missed something out! ![]() Last edited by CTWV50 : 20th May 2014 at 12:40 AM. |

![]() Started tunnelling but first the back panel vinyl glueing.
![]() Quite like the rivets showing through. ![]() Did the drivers side too but never got round to take pictures. I will definitely fix it all in place this week after I've convince myself I won't need to go in there again soon. ![]() |

![]() Cheers, still got the saturn one but it doesn't fit. Might chop the ends off so it does unless I can come up with an alternative.
