I've been out this morning then sorting the electrics, replaced the fuse box & horn. Had the fuses in upside down.. so I had 15A at the top when I should have had 35A, that's all been sorted now. All the electrics are working now apart from the Interior lights & Hazards.. which will become clear why when you look at the photographs.







So I'll pick up an inline fuse carrier and a load of fuses when I next go into town.

Nice work, sucks about the inline fuse.

My fault! easy to fix though!

Right I was thinking today whilst fitting the horn about things I'm gonna have to relocate when I cut the front off, where can I put the washer bottle & the horn..?

£111 worth of stuff ordered from Minispares

Payment cleared for the headlights today so they should be on there way.

Are you fitting a relay on these lights?

Its looking good though.

Nah I won't be, illegal isn't it?

[Jackman]

To relay the lights... nope.

Its to stop the huge load going through the switch and melting it. I have done it on mine.

[analogue_radio]

Ah I thought it made the lights more brighter, easy job to do then?

[Jackman]

Crude Diagram.

The first switch is the sidelight so that will just turn on the two sidelights.

The second switch turns on the main beam.

That uses the relay to power the lights seperate rather than through the switch.



Do you understand that?

Yup suprisingly I understand that, gotta sort my current electrics out before I start adding extras in though.

Cheers.

[Jackman]

Cool. Its not that hard really and its well worth it.

Picked up the January edition of Mini Magazine from the local news agents during my break at college and found my name in it It was about 2 months ago since I sent the picture and details to Jeff so I'm so excited to see my name in a Mini Magazine hopefully one day I'll have my car featured! In many many years, but that's a dream

& I want that Mini Sprint.. wow.



So yeah, not much happening really. Just waiting on a few packages for my flip front and that's about it, might go out on Thursday if I've got time and clean up some things in the engine bay. I've got a ton of college work to do though so that's gotta come first.
