Re: Re: “Vinny” – Engine Out

So onto disconnecting everything that connects then car to the engine. I started off at the front with the speedo cable connection to the gearbox. This is a simple locking bolt that you loosen, pull the cable and then put the bolt back in. Tuck the cable out of the way.

Next is the horn assembly, I unbolted the bracket and tucked the bracket complete with horn(s) away to the right. Put the nuts back onto he gearbox for safe keeping.

Next job are the electrical connections on the left side (looking from the front). This part of the cable loom should be running across the bottom of the radiator. Un screw the connectors (taking note of where each wire comes from) and tuck away with the horn assemble to the right. I have re-wired my car and each cable is numbered but a simple labelling system of putting a different colour of insulation tape on each of the 4 wires and then a tab of the same tape on the connector screw (thanks Dave – OSL282 for the tip, see post below)
