[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Thanks for the help so far. (MT Audio have you been drinking?? lol)

I just wanted a rough guide so I can go and purchase all the bits needed tbh. What cable/s to buy, what crimpers to buy, what connectors etc etc.

 

[172Ben]

FLOL! Sorry dude, but I meant who/what is 'Walop'. You've made it a bit more clear now though thanks.

Are you planning on putting a terminal in the engine bay so you still have a point to jump start if needed? Also makes it much easier as you only have 1 wired to thread into the cabin rather than a few.

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

My plan was to run one wire from the terminal that is currently in the engine bay (and will remain there, just hidden) to the battery which will be under the passenger seat. And earth it to the centre tunnel.

Someone please correct me If I am wrong.

Pm sent.

Can see mine here,

And can just make out the junction box near the standalone ecu

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Cheers Ben, I got your pm too.

Thats the sort f thing I was hoping to do. Bit of a dumb question, but If i'm earthing the battery to the floor under the seat why would I need 3-4 meters of Black cable? :S

 

[172Ben]

I ended up with to much, so yeh, that was a mistake

Got some left in the garage, and the eyelets to, i bought to much

Edit, you can see how long the earth need to be, about 40 cm's


You will need probably 2 x 8mm eyelet, 1 for the positive to the junction and one for the end of the negative to mount to the chassis, and 2 x 6mm for the end of the negative and postivie to the battery.

Find that a bit hard to follow myself. Presume there was other stuff that took them so long to do it? Only thought It would be an hour job tops.

 

[172Ben]

Takes about 30-45 minutes, and most of that was me being anal and covering what i had done in heatshrink

 

[Jonny1*2]

what you use on the heat shrink ben? heat gun or blow torch at a distance?

 

[172Ben]

Hairdryer

 

[Jonny1*2]

no wonder it took a while lol. Probably be doing that myself as i don't have a heat gun or a blow torch

 

[172Ben]

Didnt take long really, if you hold it close it gets pretty warm

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

So i need a hot air gun too?

 

[172Ben]

Nahhhh, just use a hair dryer, does the same thing.

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

No, I need tools! I have a big box with little in it! S lol)

Can I get it all from maplins do you think?? I'm going pas there tomorrow.

 

[Jonny1*2]

what tools do you need? spanner, drill, bolts. can't think of much more

 

[172Ben]

In that case a heat gun would be perfect

Ive never been maplins before so no idea

 

[172Ben]

what tools do you need? spanner, drill, bolts. can't think of much more

Yeh, thats about it really, doesnt take much

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Yeah but I want more! lol. Heatgun is on offer at euro carparts atm. £5.99! I'll order one in the morning.

if you can use a hair dryer, save your cash mate
