Disco Project :D

Badger. where is the best place around here to get welding supplies? i.e tips, shrouds liners and gas

Quite proud of myself today Got the Switch for the roof lights wired in and all the cables traced out of the way


Got the relay wired in bar the live from the battery and the feed to the lights as there is a washer bottle in the way that i've yet to cut out
If anyone is interested it is wired up as such:

Pin 30: Power from battery (Red wire through 10A fuse direct to battery)
Pin 85: Earth (Black wire added another pin to the earth block in the passengers side kick panel)
Pin 86: Supply from switch (Green wire)
Pin 87: Feed to lights (Orange Wire)

the carling switch that i'm using is wired up like this:
Pin 2: Supply Feed in from high beam (Orange wire spliced into the high beam wire {Blue wire with white tracer running into the main fuse block)
Pin 3: Power feed to relay Green Wire
Pin 7: Earth (Black Wire, added another pin to the earth block under the central cubby box
Pin 8: Sidelight feed (Yellow Wire, Spliced into the switch for the light in the glove box)

Got the lights on the roof pretty much wired together
And the acheivement at the end


IT WORKS but i'm guessing that they are dim due to crap bulbs and the fact that the battery is nearly flat
Everything is soldered and covered with heat shrink where possible.
And something new that arrived today

****part :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

Tut Tut, I would buy nothing with ****part written on the box!
I hate to break it to you Sam, you'll be replacing the bushes again very shortly...Sorry

why's that? i got told they are quite good. where else would be good to get the bushes from? all the others i looked at didn't have the ARB bushes

You're doing a great job mate. fair play to you!

Carl

you'd be better off fitting the BP ones mate

with others i would end up paing more for less bushes which didn't seem sensible. i'm like some of the blue ones but it's not a compleate bush kit so it wasn't worth spending more money

not britpart nevermind! the best place for welding supplies would be a bloke called chris at elite engineering, hes based in bicester,google it, tell him badger at longlife in weston gave you his number and hell sort you out mate. now stop fannying around and get outside and fit those bushes!

Thanks for the info on the welding supplies i'll give them a bell when i get paid

very wise choice mate! no worries ,hes a good old boy and hell sort you out! Where did you get your black plastic dash pod from mate??

it is one of the more expensive things i brought for the landy but when i saw it i had to have it it's called a MUD pod made by MUDSTUFF i got mine from Devon 4X4 as i was ordering other stuff from there and postage is free over a certian amount i went with the origional MUD pod rather then the mini one as the mini one doesn't cover the coin tray properlly but the origional one just covers it

Am not surprised it was expensive if ya bought it from them cunnts at divvytwaats4x4.

it twas only 84p or something more expensive then buying it direct from MUDSTUFF

Done a bit more today, not as much as i would have like due to the rain.
Drilled the mounting holes for the pod and cut the face of it to accept the switch bank

Started putting the center console back together

And decided to take the overhead storage down just to have a look am thinking of mounting a CB radio up there (headlining needs a bit of a clean)


And some pics i took the other night to see what the lights were like

It is spot on mate. Ideally you want 18 gauge steel which 1.2 mm thick,perfect for plating, you can get it from a company in weston on the green, they're called oxford fabrication. They will sel you a 4x2 foot sheet quite cheaply,you can cut it with a decent set of tin snips.

had a look on google for this company and i can't find an address or anything?

Hello Bwana
me have a message from my long last Uncle who recently died. ~If you could send me 32 good inglish pounds, I will be able to copy and forward it to you.

Right, started off today with the idea off getting the electrics compleatly finished, unfortunatly that didnt happen i started to thread the wireing through the grommet on the N/S and suddenly the hazzards started going off :S so i pulled the loom that goes down the N/S wing into the cabin expecting to find a split wire shorting out

but nothing so whilst that wing was clear i decided to have alook at the rust

i wish i haddn't, so out came the flap disc, the rust converter and the red oxide and i ended up with
.
wout i be better off to replace the panel, or to patch it up?
