I love the electrical panel.  I built a much rougher one on plywood and it helped clean up the wiring mess.  I have one suggestion, if it isn’t too late.  Can you rotate the panel 180 so that the terminal strip  is at the top and the fuse block is at the bottom?  That way the wires, which hopefully you will never have to access again 😉 will be t…[Read more]

Just remember one circuit at a time. I replaced most of the original wiring in mine two years ago using the wiring diagrams in Bentley and the one posted to the site. Did you make the terminal/fuse/relay block I used marine grade fuse blocks to replace the original Buss style fuse strips. I like what you are starting with much better than…[Read more]

I retired a telephone splicer/tech after 32years. I’d tell people,”I’m the guy you see by the side of the road with the colored wires in his lap and the confused look on his face!” There IS a color code, so it DOES make sense, but trying to explain it to a layman was a lost cause. GOOD LUCK!

Wiring will be a piece of art.  I was just glad that nothing burned when I turned on the key.  Now I am solving the oil pressure issue.  As this picture shows, the oil pressure port is between the motor mount and the filter.

Yea, no way to get a sending unit on this.  So I am going to go with a remote oil filter and put the sending unit wit…[Read more]

Ricrx7. I also have two sockets on mine. Look in the sockets. The socket with two contacts is the tail/brake light combo. The single contact (mine is on top) is the turn signal.

Ah Wiring!!

Now which fuse is the yellow wire supposed to go to????????

As you can see, I have all of 3 wires attached — and a gazillion to go…….

….Stay tuned — I might be on the road in time for Labor Day!!
