Out with the old and in with the new!
Not a bad job really,just make sure you label the wires correctly,also working of my scissor lift I didn't have to be on my knees and twisting my back.
Next job,relays for the headlights,and ball joints
Cheers,John

I spaced the fusebox about a 1/2 inch from the firewall so I could route the bottom wires behind,looks neater but I also had to trim about an inch of the rear of the glove box to clear the wires,all in all a relatively easy job,the flag connectors worked well!

its a Chinese brand not sure of the name,comes in really handy although it has it's limitations can't really do any gearbox work,but great for bodywork
 
Looks very neat. I can't quite tell from the pics - what sort of connectors did you use to get multiple cables onto one spade? I think some of mine have 4 wires going into one...can't quite decide how I would achieve that yet.
 
Looks good, Rovohn.

Alex, check out the sticky in this section.

Maybe not the definitive answer.....but it's worked for me for a couple of years.

Perhaps the most important mod on Series II cars? A resounding yes, IMHO.


 
I saved that wiring diagram a few years ago I reckon as I went to save it and it already exists in my folder. I obviously had intentions previously to do this!

Thanks for that. I found those 3 way connectors on the website. The link was dead but this is the correct one for anyone else (took me a while to find it - easiest way is by product code without the link): http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/product.php/450/ - I am hoping they are not too flimsy but we will see.

Ordered those along with a couple of 6 way fuse holders and bits and bobs - another job on the to-do list (engine rebuild being the bigger one)
 
Looking at doing fuse box on mine. Don't fancy all that crimping and spade connectors in multiples. When installing low voltage lighting systems electricians are using small connectors called wago. You just strip end of wire and push fit. They're small and neat think they would be perfect for this. Screwfix sell them.
 
A good tool really does make the job easier and neater. I started thinking about renewing the fuse box, then decided on blade boxes then saw plug in circuit breakers but they don't come in the 45amps I need for the air con motor (its turbo on 24 volts) then I realised I could just use panel mount ones. I've extended the panel out to take fifteen breakers so I can put the air con, power windows and other sundries like central locking; all in the same block. I'm having the plate engraved (white lettering on black) and the holes drilled by my local trophy shop. It is going to be a bit pricey as the breakers start at $8.00 AUS and I need fifteen plus the engraving and connectors but it will beat trying to replace a fuse in the dark!
