Reworking old wiring

[inaforty]

All new stuff Macojoe!

WOW that sound like fun!

All that other crap....like this.


Here is the wiring all reworked so that everything is easily accessible etc.
I'm no pro installer but I'm much cheaper and when something goes wrong I know where to look. I turn the battery on after everything was completed and the only thing I missed was one ground going to the in dash depth finder.

Nice work, looks tons better. I will try to post some pictures of the switchplate, and terminal blocks I got to do from scratch for my center console. I like to use some electrolitic grease on all terminal ends to slow down corrosion and solder with heat shrink when the wire is fresh and new.
MJ posted about seized switches from Blue Sea? WTF? I never seen that one. They normally sell some nice quality stuff.

CB and BS both have seen it its true!! I bought from them as they were to be the best!!

looks good, inaforty, i had to do pretty much the same thing, i also moved the fuse blocks and ground block outside the dash cavity. i relpaced the orignal canvas cover with one that was large enough tocover the new blocks outside on the cabin roof. it dosen't really do anything, justlooks neater.

Phat,
I like the idea of making a larger canvas to cover the fuse block/ bus bar mounted outside the dash cavity. I would like to do something like that.
I was thinking of making some sort of cabinet but that would probably take up to much space. Like the idea of just a larger canvas. Did you move the snaps mounted to the V berth ceiling.
I think I still have my Dad's snap installer that mount on the jaws of vise grips. Now I just need to clean the mold out of the monkey fur. Anyone have any tips on cleaning the monkey fur?

My old 1975 did not have the fur thank god!!

i just installed new snaps, the old ones were rusted. i'll try to get a few pics later,
i used to tell my kids the cabin was lined with llama skin (there favorite book was "Is your mama a llama"..
