Looking great Si.

Think you've squeezed your seats in the same as i did. With a roll cage and the B pillar there really isn't anywhere else to mount them unless you hack saw the wings off the seats!!! Or go to motordrive and fork out for some custom seats!!! ££££££

I know , everything is a tight squeeze in a mini!! Lol
This is my next thing to do, make a fusebox and relay panel to go under the dashboard. Have made a template ready to cut one out when I get home later

[rally1380]

ha ha...got the same fuse boxes waiting to go in also. Good old NOS Lucas!

[minisi35]

Got the fuse panel made and sorted last night

[keefr22]

Very neat (as usual!!)

Cool- I may have missed it but are you making a new loom or modifying the standard one?

[minisi35]

Thanks keef

Thanks C4NNON I'm using the standard loom to start with to make sure everything works then I will uprate all the bits that need it, ie headlamps etc, love the progress on your shell by the way

Finished and fitted !!

[TopCatCustom]

Have you just integrated more fuses into the standard loom then, or re-located the standard fuse box?

[minisi35]

Ive relocated the original onto this panel and added an extra fuse box for extra things

I've opened up at can of worms with the wiring....

Managed to untangle the mess and get some order into it.

And the first of the switches are back in

Good luck to you with the wiring fella, I Feckin hated doing my wiring and it took me for ages to figure it all out because like the numpty i am i didnt tag anything when i took it out lol I made a nice new foot rest for the mini recently, What foot rest are you using?

[minisi35]

I've got the old one out of my current mini. Will find a pic out of it
Been checking the wring over and there's a few bodges that have been done in the past so i spent some time making my wiring diagram easier to read( for me anyway)

[keefr22]

Our electrics are a nightmare! I don't think the guy who built it bothered with re-wiring to a diagram - I think he just used whatever coloured wire he had hanging about & spliced it into the loom wherever he wanted! And the number of bits of unconnected wire we have hanging about throughout the car is just nuts! But so far everything (except the tach which failed the day after we bought it!) still works - & I hope it stays that way because I really don't fancy trying to puzzle them out...!!

When you have finished that wiring you should have a bash at something easier. Like peace in the Middle East.

[minisi35]

Lol think I have enough on my plate for now
I may be sometime!!!
