Hi, I have a spit mk2.
I am going through a total rebuild, and there are many things with the electrics I want to change/add.
so I will do each one as one topic.
1) as the engine is a more modern NON triumph engine, it has an alternator, so I want to know how to wire it up AND remove both the old triumph control/charge box as well as the wires that will not be needed.
2) I would like to change the old style fuse box, and at the same time, add a LOT more fuses, so incase one item goes, it does not wipe out most of the car.
3) I want to add etra gauges, looking at a 1500 type wireing, it looks like the feed for the gauges comes from the voltage regulator, then through the gauge to its censor, is this wright for all gauges???
4) my rad will have a thermosta and electric fans, want to know how to wire these up.
5) whats a balist resistor, ???? do I need one???
6)help
7)HELP
8) even more help
