its been slow, too cold and wet and dark. gota love Victorian winters

anyway been doing some wiring, EFI connection helped me out once again with some terminals that suit the DFI plug, my old wires cracked at the plug.

just need some more red and brown wires to finish this plug, power and tach sig are those colours I am short of.

The new VR I have also been working on, engine coming up nice, some more mechanical bits on that then I will start the electrical side of the manual conversion.

Vlad,

Do you have the stock numbers for the terminals used ?

Is that also a new terminal block for the DFI?

no the terminal block is reused, I just removed the old terminals and replaced with new.

here are the required terminals for the DFI.

Other connector pigtails are standard stuff on EFIconnection's site so now we can make entire new looms

Had another go at the angle grinder hacked area back/left roof section.

So you remember I did some a little while ago and got it to this stage.

Now its like this.

And like this. The gouges from the grinder are nearly all gone.

I only have some very minor tweaking to do in 3 spots to raise the metal by a fraction of a fraction.
