A little more wiring today. The 65A is now fully connected with ring terminals and 2x60A cables running to the starter solenoid terminal. I used 2 such heavy cables to minimise resistance or heating. They are wrapped and follow the original cables, which have been left in place to retain their plug to allow easy fitting of 43A or 65A alternators so I won’t get stranded in an emergency.
I now have a crowded solenoid terminal, with the battery +ve lead, the 2 original alternator cables, 2 new alternator cables, 2 dash and ign feeds, heater plug feed and an accessory feed that passes through the bulkhead to a bus bar and relays beneath the dash (as per Def fuse box). The headlights, bull bar spots and twin horns will have their relays (4) mounted on the top of the rad panel, taking feeds straight from the battery terminal. The 7 accessory relays under the dash will be for the TD5 heater blower (2), heated rear screen, heated wing mirrors, roof spots (2) and front seat heaters.
