Nope just ran some dual core direct to batt

Thinking that I will just wire via relay and sod the other options. Still can't figure out why I need the additional switch in that wiring diagram you posted ..

I'll let you go in front ................. pleased you made it this far .............

The switch is so you can isolate the feed from the headlamps so you can have your high beam on with out your rooflights..

I think its a requirement in some countrys

OK cool, I wanted to be able to do that anyway

Will have to investigate if the standard "Fog" light switch fitted would be upto the job. If so looks like James will be getting some more beer tokens for a switch to be "Spots" instead.

Should be nice with a standard switch in one of those blanks.

Nice project Boomer,

I started also with mij same roof-lights as you have...... ( 4 pieces )

I show my first photo's next weekend.
How are you doing your wiring..?

greetss

Ordered some ORA radius arm guards

good choice,enjoy fitting them

a word of advise which i wish i did before fitting mine, properly clean and hammerite the chassis mounts prior to fitting the guards. they collect mud and leaves etc etc which will lead to rust! when the weather improves i will be removing mine to paint underneath.

i used a bearing grease to sort of hold the spacers in place, the guards are a very tight fit so some levering and repositioning of the spacers is needed as you fit the guard. All fun and games, swear alot it makes it all better :laugh: :laugh:

Got rid of a clunking noise when cornering

Replaced my front Panhard rod bushes

From these (notice the missing lip on one side)



To these (jimnybits supplied Super Pro bushes)



Result = No more clunking,

Greased my brake lines to stop them rusting and re-packed my boot now the battery is gone from it. I actually have some space spare in the boot now - only enough for one small shopping bag but hey, it's space!

I need to buy a new Fire Extinguisher though as mine has lost pressure and think I might get some of those rubber grip things for my breaker bar to sit on the inside of the back door.

I might make a fold down table for the back door too for making a cuppa out of the wind when laning etc.

My trusty short spade is on the inside of the back door, made some homemade brackets to hold it
