Adding electrics - good practice
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 10:30 am
Hi all,
I'm putting in a stealthy electric washer pump (mounted inside, as close as possible to the washer line inlet in the bulkhead).
We've all seen badly patched wiring mods before, and I can think of various quick and dirty ways of doing it. What though would be considered best practice for such an activity? In particular, where should I be aiming to take a positive feed from, and attach the earth?
Early +2 with alternator conversion; two fuses on the bulkhead just before the loom disappears inside.
Any advice or opinions appreciated (except 'don't do it' please, practicality mods are good in my book - they're what will keep the car going).
Thanks,
Andy
