Looks very neat and tidy, although I do wonder at todays auto-electrical requirements, when remembering the first '60's Mini I owned only had 2 fuses, in total!! Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh.......Morrag

That's the same junction board I have in my truck, (under the passenger seat). I didn't wire mine, (Terry T did, with amendments to the dashboard by Olds). I admire those who practice the wiring black art. Nicely done Sir.

Very neat sir. As is everything you have done on this vehicle. Good luck for March.

Agree about the complexity of modern vehicle wiring. My Jag has five fuse boxes with 78 fuses and 39 relays ! Three fuses and one relay (indicators) are all I'm planning. Though this means sourcing period switches etc. as modern stuff isn't designed to take the loads.

Be careful of the sva Olds, there's a good reason modern cars went to rocker switches.

There is much satisfaction to be had by going back to basics ....... I needed a square end on a round shaft, so it was out with the files and a tub of elbow grease   Whoooo Hooooo,  happy days Grin
Nothing to do with cars I'm afraid, but it does have a wheel .......  my new BBQ is taking shape,

That's a full-on hog roast, not just a barbeque!
Love the name -my welder's called Ol' Sparky. That's a cool wheel. Did you make it yourself?

The wheel came from ebay, complete with woodworm holes Cheesy  it was off an old water valve.  The shaft will have pair of pulleys on for cables to raise and lower the grill.
