Re: Ammo's Ute
Today I fitted the modified brake pedal and hooked it up to the brake cylinder.
Big hand in small tight places.
Finished off the rear window but tucking up to headliner and screwing on the metal strips.
.
Could not put it off any longer, I dragged out the wire loom I purchased from Blue Wire.
I’m doing away with the ignition key and going to a push button start with hidden transponder.
Having fun matching the wires using the 2 diagrams supplied with each kit and VL workshop manual. Cheers,
Roger

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.
Re: Ammo's Ute
Wiring is fun if you understand it.
My only suggestion is to keep your fuel pump and ignition wires as seperate looms, it makes it easier if you ever decide to upgrade those items.

Re: Ammo's Ute
I need your help.
I have this alternator to use but not sure if I need to add a regulator or not into the wiring loom or if this has one already. Cheers,
Roger

Re: Ammo's Ute
100% that alternator requires an external regulator. Usually the aluminium can type.

Re: Ammo's Ute
That's not much of an alternator Roger, how much electrical wizardry will this ute have in it ? Might be better off heading down to pick a part and finding an 80a or so one ????
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Sell the alternator for a small fortune to the HKTG crowd as a genuine Monaro part . . .

I've been using one of these for 40 years give or take. Got a few spares if you can use one.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Yes- they are best regulators. But Blacky and Rob are on the money. 50amps wringing wet is not much to go on.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Thanks for the replies as my electrical knowledge is limited.
Current using 3 workshop manuals VH and VL Commodore and a HQ one.
I will look for a larger alternator 80amp and yes Clay I may grab one from you.

Roger

Re: Ammo's Ute
There has been progress on the wiring of the ute although sometimes it is hard to see.
Cheers,
Roger
To ease my poor back I decided to work on the gauge cluster.
Spent a lot of time, very carefully on the odometer to show the actual miles the ute has done since the rebuild stated.
The black gauge background has an upgrade to match the 4 gauge I will be installing in the dash.
Small steps but it is forward.Cheers,
Roger
