Time to wire

[JetMech727]

JetMech727, if you dont mind I have a few questions. What grommet kit did you use for the wires? What did you do to the ends of the braided line that covers the headlight wires? And how did you make the braided line that covers the throttle cable? I appreciate any help that is offered. Thank you.

Hi Kyle, hope this helps. No grommet kit was used. My local small town Ace Hardware has an excellent selection of grommets I was able to pick and choose from. Heat shrink tube was used on the ends of the braid to tidy them up. Throttle cable is just a standard Lokar set up. I usually drill the frame grommet holes a couple sizes over to allow the grommet a little wiggle room. This allows easy grommet insertion after wires are pulled through it and keeps it from getting pinched by tight wiring causing them to get cut and fail. And hole deburr inside & out is a must.

What a nice job dam she is pretty.

Thank you guy. Next to body work wiring is my 2nd least favorite thing to do.

Due to being a flight engineer I had to memorize the wiring of each aircraft i flew 727.200, 747.200 ect , so wiring is easy for me just do one thing at a time and it will work out .

 

[Guy]

you think that wiring is hard let me look for the aircraft i built

Say, I could use some wiring help. My electrical panel on the bench:

...need to add some more boxes and maybe tidy up a bit...

I'm afraid you are not going to get many takers for that wiring project! hehehe!!!

 

[PotvinGuy]

I was counting on YOU, Indy. We Okies must stick together.

 

[Indycars]

You can count of me, but it would be like the apprentice telling the mentor what to do.

Get yours figured out and then you will do mine right! Is that really on the bench? In the summer time? Lol

Yeah, it has all those connectors so I can just unplug it and go indoors. Once it used to look very tidy, but I added stuff and now need to replace a few boxes that went bad, so it was back to the bench.

Indy is just down the road from you, and he told me he would be delighted to help you.

I think Indy was around the bend before he met you...

You know I can hear everything you're saying about me ...... right?

Ooooops! Lol

I used to enjoy wiring, figuring out how to make things work where they weren’t designed to be, etc but not so much these days. I lost vision in my left eye due to an accident and my right is diminished from radiation treatment for cancer in the orbital socket so schematics and such are very challenging. Take your time, get organized, make notes, labels, etc...

Sorry to hear that Fletch. Good advice, take care of yourself.

 

[PotvinGuy]

Take your time, get organized, make notes, labels, etc...

Amen. I keep a big 3-ring binder of my wiring. Make notes explaining why things are. Try to label every connector (a label-maker is big help), number wires, etc.

Both of you were correct it’s for the factory driving lights. I checked the factory spotlight wiring and their is a male round pin that goes to a green and white wire. It’s now time to cut the wire out of the car
