Guest WALFY Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm fitting a cutout switch to my 90 and need to route the feed to the started via the switch. So I can go and look vaguely sensible tomorrow at the auto electritions place What size cable is it from the batt to the starter? I have 10m of 6mm cable. Is this man enough or do I need bigger stuff. I need it to look tidy or else Weeble will take the p*ss again about my wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 35mmSq so your 6mm is no where near enough see here for more: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=9207 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Cheers Tony. The cable that's there doesn't look like 35mm hence the question. Oh well off to the electritions in the morning to spend more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Better safe than sorry Mark is the switch you've got a 4 pole? to protect the alternator to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes the 1 from VWP. So it's got the 2 big lug terminals and then 4 spade connectors. I've done the other bit this afternoon so will get the other cable tomorrow and finish the job off. But Dave will only have a look and laugh at my poor attempt at wiring like he normally does.

TJ101 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 And you have the resistor which prevents damage to your alternator diodes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yep little white block thing. Bit of a pain to fix the wiring to it. Cable is nice and flexible but the 2 wires coming out the block are stiff as anything, so it got fixed in a unique way and taped to death to stop any movement and fracturing.

JST Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 wow you really are pushing the boat out, but why a cut off on the 07? you going to compete in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
