Loom 4

The garage has been silent for a week or so and that gave me time to think about the mess of wires around the fuse box. I found some spare bracketry and came up with this:

Ignore the wonky brackets on the fuse box, it was later adjusted. I can now get to the terminals at the back of the fuse box for future troubleshooting. The wiring is now slightly tidier and I got some proper fabric loom tape which is over everything then pvc tubing over the top. Lovely.

Only problem now is the hole in the firewall where the fuse box used to be in the engine bay. Well, I say firewall, I mean 3mm thick fibreglass. My plan is to etch the names of everyone who has helped build the car onto a stainless steel plate then rivet it over the hole.

 Also, a windscreen wiper motor has appeared out of nowhere.

Luckily, I had a massively over-thick and oversized aluminium right angle lying around which is perfect for mounting the wiper motor on. It only just fits at the jaunty angle required to minimise the bend in the wire that goes to the wheel box. The wire will eventually be covered in some copper tube to protect it.
