This has just filled my morning in work!i will definitely be seeing how this goes
This is in @Prawn 's nightmares, lolThe plan for the next few weeks is re-wire the car with a custom switch plate, all new fuse/relay box, new engine loom and interior loom. If it has wires going to it, it's being re-done.
Ha! another aviation-wiring personFully weather sealed Deutsch, gold plated, mil spec connectors.
Nice! Just had a look of the website, that's some beasty wiring harnesses you guys make! I used to work for Houchin Aerospace before they shut down the factory. I was mostly in PCB assembly, but i tried my hand at everything, wiring looms, transformer/alternator winding, general assembly, testing... learnt most of my skills there tbh hahaFokker Elmo
Yes mate, I will be keeping the car road legal, so hazards, brake lights, headlight etc will all be wired in, but via a switch board, not using the oem switch/relay arrangement (high current switches). The hazards i will keep oem switch gear, and the mainbeams will be done off the stalk. I need to look into how i'm going to wire in the electric windows, mirrors, sunroof and wipers, but its only wires, how hard can it be?Watching with interest as I'll be doing something similair over the winter.
Are you keeping any working lights?
Haha I guess it's a bit of both, i just want to build the car myself as much as I can because I enjoy the challenge. I will have to begrudgingly hand the car over to a professional to have the roll cage fitted however, because an un-certified roll cage would be useless to me.Excellent work , very impressive... is it all people in the aviation industry are very frugal with their money ? or do we just hate thinking we couldn't do a better job ourselves..... I resprayed the full front end of my wifes A3 at home last month just to prove i could.... keep the updates coming
Thanks man, I'll keep the updates commingAwesome work there enjoy reading the progress!
awesome thread, I'd love to see some of the stuff you make with your homemade CNC machine!
Thanks mate, I may take you up on that depending on how badly my attempt comes outLove the home made router! We have a 3m one at work, makes far too much mess for my liking, get me a dxf/drawing and I could get one punched out on 0.7 mild steel for you, loving this thread! Brave *******
