Warren,
Yeah, heaters looking to be a pain, but will worry about that once I've cut the tunnel hole in the bulkhead and know what sort of size I need,
A quick glance says it may be possible to modify the Puma unit, depending how far the tunnel extends upwards. I will strip the Puma unit for a better look see once the final sizes are known
Re the T45, will price it up, but tbh I wasn't planning on spending anywhere near 700 sheets on the rollcage lol.
Right onto todays efforts:-
A few hours this morning produced this mess.....
I know I could have done it quicker, but as the loom etc is gonna be out of the car for a few months I have carefully labelled all plugs and refitted all screws in the holes they came out of as I was going along.
Also, not a broken clip in sight, and I was mentally measuring things and working out what to mod, what to refit and where lol.
Only slight puzzle is this plug.....
It's clipped on the back of the dash behind where the passenger air bag would be, but its not part of the air bag loom, it was not plugged into anything!!
Does anyone know what it is for ????
Coffee and smoke time
Onwards and hopefully upwards lol
Spent the afternoon removing and labelling the entire Loom including separating the Vehicle Systems Loom from the Engine / ABS Loom at the underbonnet fuse box.
I was pleased how easy it was to separate these 2 Looms, and how modification friendly it all looks. When I come to build the custom loom for the V6, it will be easy to just add the required extra wires, and move some existing wires and re - orientate them at the ECU plug if neccesary. Also existing ECU loom length means it will be easy to re - locate the ECU to a more user friendly "Plug and Play" location behind the N/S of the dash, (I have a plan)!!
This will come in handy for stage 2 of the project when the engine comes back out for some serious mods and then Megasquirt or Emerald Management is fitted. Seeeee I'm thinking, planning, plannin' and thinkin' lololol.
Next out with ECU, Airbag / Seatbelt Pretensioner Control Unit, Pedal Box, Heater / Aircon Unit, A/C drier, Horn, Brake Servo and Linkage, ABS Unit, Metal Brake Pipes and Rear Wheelarch Liners.
Doesn't sound a lot but the front bumper and headlights had to come off to remove the loom from across the front panel, and the back bumper had to come off to remove the plug for rear fog lamps and index plate lights. I'm sure Renault or Citroen had a hand in this particular bit of design PMSL !!
I have refitted the bumpers and headlights hand tight for now, as having them on will be useful for sizing up where all the bits are gonna go when I drop the engine in the hole next week.
Feckin' 'ell, looks like the bailiffs have been in
......
Well thats about it for today, workin' tommorrow morning, but will push the Puma outside in the afternoon and get the Cossie Scorpio in for stripping.
Looks like I might be using the Scorpio Rear Beam and Suspension / Brakes cos the track is wider than a 4x4 Sierra and will fit the Widearch Bodykit dimensions better.
Cheers for looking, keep the feedback coming, good or bad lol,
Dave
