I'm still mulling over how I'm going to safely connect the power from the alternator and battery to the rest of the car.
I have decided not to wire everything through the ignition switch - I will be using at least two mini relays and strip fuses with just a token signal wire running from the ignition. I'm still a bit unsure about the amperage calculations and I really need to crack on and get some more accurate data.
Which ever way I look at it I'm fairly sure the existing alternator is a bit on the small side =>
It is rated for 55W - I expect I don't need to have one that can supply everything in the worst case scenario but I need to check what's safest to fit (as in the most reliable)
The ignition switch was easy to find =>
I thought I'd found the headlight switch but it turns out to be the demister fan =>
I wonder where the headlight switch has gone?

In other news the reamer for the king pin replacement should be here soon so I've been a painting with Eastwoods rust encapsulator (after poo loads of angle grinder wire brushing as usual - followed by a good soaking in Rustyco rust eater before the rust encapsulator)
