No all the standard wiring will be coming out , will have some buttons on the wheel then the ones on the panel for ecu , start.,auxciliarys ,main lights.

You just using the panel via a relay for starting then? I'm trying to figure out what to do with mine.

 

[neil a]

Yes that's the plan so far but I know of two cars that both run the same panel and they just use a direct feed with no relay and work fine.

Wiring time

Now time to work out ecu mounting position and

I had looked at those membrane panels before, opted against it as from memory each channel could only handle 10amps

Yup 10 amp per channel , I'm going to run relays for the bigger draws.
Will probably also go to LED bulbs to cut the draw down. Would think the wiper motor will probably be the biggest draw

Some progress made tonight , dash2 mounted and buttons wired. I powered it up of a 9v battery to test if I can see the screen ok from my seat.

Also made up a bracket for the alternator tensioner , I had to do away with the cup mount as the cup racer engine mount uses the same bolts

I've now got the car wired for lights, wipers, indicators, rear fog along with tell tale lights on the dash and also tested the starter.
Powering up the omex, fuel pump and rad fan will have to wait until next time I'm home but I'm happy with the progress as I hate wiring.

I have 4 relays , and a small fuse box these control indicators, fuel pump ,ones and aux functions.

I still need to get a plug to use for the gear output from the sadev and also wire in the gear cut function for the ones

New tow car also purchased dropped it off yesterday to get folding towbar fitted as hopefully will need to trailer the clio for mapping next month.

 

[Chambers_RS]

That’s well smart.

I need to upgrade my tow car 🤔

 

[neil a]

Thanks it's got 500ftlb of torque so should tow well.
Don't k ow how it ended up with 3 pics though , if a mod sees this can they cut it back to one.

Does anyone know the size of the water hose that goes onto the heater matrix bulkhead connector ??

Im going to have to make/buy something to cross over from these hoses down to the 13mm hoses inside the car going to my heater , also going ot have to make a new bulkhead penetration as my shifter now runs though the old space.
