So theme for today was electrical.
I put together the other half of the Anderson connector for the glow plug controller.
Did my vacuum pump up.
I think it and the fuel pump are going to set on the same bracket. Need to see if I can get that cutout tomorrow and then I can finish up this portion of the electrical. I fit the plate to the new inner fender which required a little tweaking.
I put two circuit breakers on this panel.
One to feed the headlights and 1 to feed pretty much everything else auxiliary that I'm adding. The circuits will be individually fused as well but I wanted to break up the main a bit so that if things went to hell for some reason, I could get home with a jumper wire and the headlights were on a different set of circuits.
I've got mega fuses for the charging circuit and the feed for the GP relay. I don't like fusible links.
I hung the second battery under the cab so I could measure for the cable.
End is soldered on. Once it passes the tug test (none have failed yet), I hit the joint with liquid electrical tape, and put the heat shrink on. Couldn't get the adhesive stuff so I figure this is as good or better.
Did the grounds.
So that's where we are. Need to hang the starter and make the starter cable. Hand the fender so I can bolt up the inner fender and the mount plate and finish pulling the wires enough to be able to start it. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a pipe expander to fix the crossover pipe. It's a little whooched. So the short short list is:
Starter
Starter cable
Fender
Fender solenoid
Feed to fender solenoid
Cable from solenoid to starter
Fill the crank case
Fuel pump plumbing
Return line connected
Radiator back in
Paint intake hat
Tweak IC tubes
Okay. That list isn't as short as I thought but it's shorter than it was I guess.
