Mornin'
Seriously looking in to second battery install and would LIKE to do it before christmas, I just have to figure out how to get the hose from the Southdown snorkel into the side of the airbox Safari snorkel style. Been trying to find the Safari flange that you cut and insert into the side of the airbox but just can't them them.
Anyway, that aside, I'd like to replace the main power cables (+, - and earth) but I can't see where each goes.
The - goes from the - on the battery, down the side of the drivers side wheelarch and bolted on down there so that one's easy enough.
However there are three that come off the + terminal.
A goes to the fuse box just behind the battery and then another comes out of it at the same place and goes underneath the fuse box, we'll still call this one A as it is a continuation of it
B (a thinner wire) goes underneath the fuse box
Behind the fuse box A and B go into some plastic cable sheath and goes off towards the engine where the sheath splits and a few cables go off in different directions, so this makes it hard to trace where each goes
C goes down the side of the drivers side wing and again in to some plastic sheath and off behind the engine seemingly across to the passenger side but I loose sight of it then.
The point of this is two fold, I get nice new power cables and tidied up earth points and power connections and also when I put the second battery they'll both have the same cable age and type of cable so I'll know there are no problems with different loads or resistance due to cable ages or condition.
Hope you can help (pics and drawing would be great
