My Puma Cossie - Few Bits And Bobs. (very Picture Heavy!) A running diary

first of all i need to make a plug to go into analogue loom plugs. These are not available as they are an integrated part of the dash clocks so ive made my own using 2 sided copper clad board.
First i cut rough shapes then filed them down to fit:
Then tweaked them to fit the connectors:
The next stage is to separate the individual pins which i can do with a cutting wheel on my dremel (the quick easy way ) or by buying etch resist pen and acid etching the board, proper PCB style like i was taught years ago!!! Not made my mind up yet!!! I might just use cutting wheel for the prototype and if its something people want me to make for thier cars then i might then do it properly!!!
This is the wiring diagram!
Also been checking a few bits and bobs ready for MoT and getting the car back on the road.

Cut them a bit shorter and seperated each track on both sides:
Fits fine into the connector leaving me space to solder the wires on:
as you can see i have good contact on the tracks from the connector:
Also found an interesting part today. Im looking to fit a part from a range rover sport to my car for ultimate bling factor
this is it:
Notice the similarity between the ford equivilent:
Been doing more work on the focus dash conversion plans too. Its getting a bit more complicated now as i need to fit the trip computer module and also need to work my head around the Standard Coorporate Protocol BUS that comminicates between the dash and the ECU so i can get speed, tacho and engine temp feeds!!!
This is the sort of stuff ive been getting my head round:
Message byte # Description
1 Upper nibble is message priority, low number is high priority.
Lower nibble is message type (see next table).
2 Destination address, physical or functional.
3 Source address, physical address of the node that transmitted the message.
4 - 11 Message data, if present.
12 (or last byte) CRC byte.
Ford SCP Message Types
Message Type Description
0 Function message.
1 Broadcast, a type of functional message.
2 Function query.
3 Function read.
4 Node - to - Node. A physical message.
5 BCC access.

Not saying yours is, just a concerned thought

Finished the focus wiring loom to fit ST170 dials to an analogue dash puma. These are better as they come with a separate oil pressure/temp guages which will save me fitting expensive ones!!
ive had to go onto 2 pages with these diagrams due to the complexity:
Still a few bits to be worked out before i can begin to make the loom. First of all i need more info on the workings of ford's EECV and the SCP databus!!! on the focus and other EECV cars, the ECU feeds the digital dash with various info via the SCP databus. On the Puma, the databus is not connected to the dash (even on the digi dash cars) so i have concerns on if the SCP databus is able of communicating with the dash or not. The databus on the puma only feeds the Data Link Connector for diagnostics purposes, so i need to find out if the ECU requires another wire feed to "trigger" the databus.
The joy of a databus is once ive got the databus live, then it doesnt matter that its only the dash sending info requests as the ECU will just respond with the required information or an error code if theres a problem.
But i wont really know this until i get to play with it properly once a prototype loom has been made.

The oil guage etc are being fitted (when i finally do it!! want to get puma digi dash working first). Probably in one of the centre vents.

double insulated everything, first with heatshrink:
then with tape to finally seal it in and hold the shape.

its not as tidy as i want it to be but is fine for a prototype. Id do a couple of things different when i make another and probably put nice braid and stuff over it to make it look nice but otherwise its basically same.

This one is for me to be able to fit a 3 button remote alarm module to an early 2 button IR remote alarm car.
