Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
out of curiosity, what size did the battery cable end up being ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Made a sort of bus arrangement to locate the switch up under the dash
Electrical all done
I earthed the starter bottom bolt to the subframe inner leg
Next job mount the battery.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Made up a mount Sunday arvo after club rego day
Now to fix it to the floor.
Meanwhile, clearenced manifold, and mocked up with spacers.Much better. I fitted 2.25" studs to out the carbys, but had to cut them all down by 15mm, sheesh, all 12 of them!
All the bits are now in hand......
No club runs until September so no more excuses.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Just a thought on the bus. Might be an idea to pull it off and put some heatshrink over most of it. Saves accidently shorting it with a stray spanner (or someones steel capped boots). If its painful to get back out, a couple of layers of PVC tape would do the trick.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
Yes Harv. I wrapped it in Nitto tape, then heat shrink OTT. So double insulated. I will also sheath the cable running under the floor mat in heater hose, to be sure, to be sure.....

I've inadvertently shorted so much stuff out that I am damn near giving Jo Lucas a run for his money

Battery mounted
Linkage and cable set up connected to the throttle. Pedal feels just about right, more direct than current and getting WOT.
