Cool 🙏 Thankyou

Cheers, Iv run a main cable from battery to fuse box through a 150amp mega fuse. Would it be worth another main run to a fuse box near the switches to fuse the switch side of things too?

Ok so Iv redrawn a plan for the led bar 300watt so 25amp fuse or would you step up to 30amp? 30amp cable from fuse to pin 30 or should I look at heavier cable? 11amp cable to pin 85 for earth 30amp cable from pin 87 to led or should I go heavier? 11amp from switch to pin 86 should I fuse before or after switch running a seperate supply from the fuse board running pin 30?

Spot on, thankyou, I’m learning a lot from this post Much Appreciated 🙏

Ah, think that could be my issue. Would I be better also running a seperate fuse for the supply to pin 30 from the fuse I run to the switch?

Sorry meant fuse to pin 30 not 87🤦🏻

39amp to LED bar, think I used 25amp to front spots but I know Iv used 11amp from fuse to switch and back to relay pin 86 and same for fuse to pin 87

Sorry meant to say all my switching and 12v supplies to relay are 11 amp throughout. So same fuse used from fuse to switch and fuse to relay, plus 11amp from switch to relay

Basically the led bar blows fuses, dash cam, attwood fan, volt gauge and small strobes but Iv a feeling whatever cable melted has took out the rest, Hopefully this weekend I’ll pull the loom out and see for sure

All the wiring came from an auto cable supply company. Buying large reels seemed an easy option at the time but thinking about it if I was to do it again I’d defo use a selection of colours

Hi, aye I fused both circuits, could that be my issue?

Morning folks, hope everyone’s well, a while back I posted about some wiring I was about to attempt, Iv got everything wired in but Iv melted a wire on my led bar, looking at my diagrams do we think Iv maybe gone too thin on cable. I used 11 amp cable from fuse to switch and back to relay plus from fuse to relay on most circuits. Panicked my baby was gona go up in flames when the smoke started but got the feed pulled straight away. Iv numbered everything so that I know where all my cables go, just have a funny feeling Iv scrimped on cable. I’d attach this to my original post but for some reason I can’t find that one

Cheers, that’s handy to have. I wonder what they’ve been used for 🤔

Afternoon chaps, Iv finally got my arse in gear and am getting on with the wiring in my 90. I’m currently up to fitting the raptor dash and it’s switches & gauges but Iv come across a plug where someone’s decided to install a couple of scotch type connectors but they ain’t plugged to anything. My question is what is the purple and white wires their connected to for?

Cheers gents, looks like once I get my arse in gear and get my workshop built I’m finally gona get my 85 v8 up and running 🤞

Exactly that, to be fair most of the 85 has been used to keep the 86 going and the chassis is a brand new Richards like for like item

Evening gents, Iv abit of a query regarding a chassis swap. Approx 15yr ago I started rebuilding a 1985 90, I bought a new galved Richards chassis not long after which I stamped with the vin number before painting. Since this I change suspension etc and swapped out the dead 200tdi for a 4.6v8 which Iv yet to fire up. Basically Iv not touched it for around 6-7yr but wanna get back to it. The next part to the story is I bought a 1986 90 to use to run to work which I thought might give me a bit gee up to get on wi the 85, but I got carried away and spent the time on this, slowly robbing parts from the 85 to fit on the 86 like roof, doors, bonnet, x eng handbrake, disc rear axle and finally the bulkhead and some of the dash. Now my 86 could do wi a little tlc and a wee bit chassis work. What I’m thinking is I’d buy a new rear tub as mines not great and the 85 one is a mess then strip the body off the 86, repaint and fit to the galv chassis I have stamped up for the 85 once I get the engine plumbed up and running. My question is would it be legal to do this? I still have log book, vin plate etc for the 85

Spot on gents, thankyou

Cheers, so ideally I’d be looking at my second and last link to get the engine and filter ends?

So am I right in thinking sowt like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235042626959?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=c3eByFglQNC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iXi8T3B7TZO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274320853382?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=57QdBchwREG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iXi8T3B7TZO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125005488459?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=63akh65fR-a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iXi8T3B7TZO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Evening chaps, I’m finally getting around to working on my V8 project again after a few year of life getting in the way, question tonight is earlier I was looking at the location of the oil filter (4.6v8 Gems) and I’m not too keen on where it sits and wonder if anyone knows of a decent oil filter relocation kit that would suit it? Also should I be running an oil cooler? I very rarely go off road with it and don’t push her overly hard

Now that could be very handy 👌

Iv around 20 30amp switches with warning lights I bought a few year back and never used. That’s my only reason for the 30amp switches. I’m running a second alternator feeding a 110ah leisure battery which will lead to the fuse board through a 150amp breaker then distribute from there. Iv a pair of bud bars which I’m looking to run from the battery to then supply my earths. Iv got plenty 40mm battery cable which if I remember correctly handles over 200watt. I’ll most likely have one bus bar behind the raptor dash to handle earths for warning lights, cb etc
