Red Rattler Revamp
Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Got the boot area finished off tonight, pretty happy with how it turned out, a long way from perfect but rough enough for the rattler
Bit of contact cement, of course I cut the first one back to front

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: Red Rattler Revamp
Looks tidy. Is that the original “short range” fuel tank with updated fuel gauge sender?

You may need a long range jerry can for the Nationals trips.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Got a bit done today , finished off the boot area, wired the fuel pump relay in , gave up on the VE sender idea and just wired the original one back in . Got all fancy and stuff - grabbed a couple of sockets out of EKMart and wired up the reverse lights - very swish
Built a cover over the fuel line, fuel pump wiring and battery terminal to reduce the risk of fire , which is pretty high considering who wired it up
Is painted up and ready to fit tomorrow after the fuel line fitting turns up - is handy having a neighbour who owns a Pirtek store

Then I got the fuse box mounted and wired in the new glovebox, also replaced the dodgy as hell speaker wiring and tidied up the rest of the stereo wiring

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Then seeing as the bulk of the dash wiring is done we loomed up the wiring and ran it under the guards , also got the dipper switch wired and the alternator, starter , O2 sensor etc run to where they need to be
