Re-Doing Stuff

I started off on Saturday intending to have a look at the parking brake and a few other bits, but after a bit of checking realised I couldn’t get away with using a long one as there just wasn’t any room to put it. I marked it for the length I needed and moved on to wiring again. I had a few more wires to run that I had left coiled up till now, and a few of these were for the alarm. I had another look at the way the rest of the wiring ran to the core support and decided I wasn’t happy leaving it like it was even temporarily.

I cut and shortened the lights and horn wiring and fitted a waterproof plug to it which gave me enough room to run the alarm wiring neatly. I taped it all up and fitted the siren which coincidentally is bright green too which just left the bonnet pin switch to do for the alarm at the front. I drilled the two holes for it and fitted the wire then gave it a quick test by accidentally setting it all off which was a surprise in a quiet garage. I then found that the horn wire was loose and I couldn’t get to the screw to tighten it. It was also nearly impossible to get to the bolts that held the horn on, so after nearly an hour of messing about I had the horn wiring tightened and it back on. I did the same to the wiring on the other side as well and re-made some other bits that I didn’t like too. There’s nothing much to see, but it’s a lot better now.
