Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Thanks for that. I found a neat LED fuse holder but I was struggling for where to put it. Then I went back and revisited the fuses and found a, ‘ignition 12v’ one that was only used for the electronic mirror adjustment (they’ve gone) and the factory AC (never had it) - so I repurposed that with a 5A...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Interesting - thanks Peter. I’ll try again on that. I know on some of the ones I tested the hot side was also dead - waiting for me to turn something on - but I’ll give that a go. Thanks again Edit. My brain has just caught up with that - I can join it to any of the hot side ones can’t I because it’...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

And then I came onto the wiring. the wiring diagrams with the kit are all pretty clear but I wasn’t sure where everything was going to go. With the condenser in the rear arch the first thing I had to do was extend the cable to that and run it down inside the car. I wasn’t sure what thickness to orde...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

All looking tidy and well-engineered. Presumably the condenser's function depends upon drawing in cold air and outputting warm, and therefore needs a constant supply of fresh air as well as for the warm air to escape, without the two mixing. How will that happen in that space with the wheel arch li...
