Hi Rich

Here you go - for ‘72 anyway. I’ll see if there’s the equivalent for ‘70 and ‘71 on the same website where I downloaded this from.

Sorry, no earlier wiring loom drawings here - maybe in the workshop manuals?

That's great thanks matt, just working on the front lights so that's perfect to keep me going.

Thanks Peter PM on its way.

Can’t wait to see my fully prepped shell receive its coat of 018 Tangerine…

Hope you get there soon Matt, real boost to see some colour.

Saw some light at the end of the garage today.

Got the right arches now ready to be fitted as you may have seen on my thread so the best colour ever is definitely getting a little bit closer Rich!

Thanks for the comments,
Focus at the moment is getting the electrics done as far as I can. Need to decide on the battery to use, both inner wing battery boxes have been blanked off but looks like I could still get the same battery as the 3.2 Carrera (Bosch 096) in but seems like overkill. Weight isn't really an issue but would be nice to go for a smaller form factor to allow me to use one of the ebay battery boxes I've seen .

Had a quick google and looks like there may be something like the battery from a small Peugeot diesel that hits the sweet spot. Planning to go for electric A/C and upgraded alternator from Classic Retrofit so may just give them a call and see what they recommend. Also need to decide where to fit the cutoff switch, might just go for in the clock blank.

Love this dashboard image;

I've also seen another that I cant find again where the dash top isn't fitted and there us just a felt covering and rubber over the seam. Would be great to see some other images for inspiration. Currently bidding on vintage Dymo printers on ebay!

Hi Rich, if you go for one of our 175A alternators you can go smaller on battery capacity. I run an Odyssey AGM (PC925) in my SC and a Deadweight (prototype) in my 993.

With the battery isolator, we have on occasion had issues where the isolator cannot sustain the current for the AC. TBH, this has generally been with cheap eBay isolators. Bosch ones tend to be ok and I would think the old school one is probably better than the new plastic key type.
