What about the purple wire that is now loose?

That's the one you have to lick... Go on, I dare you

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

I'm sure joe said it went on the starter motor but I'm not 100% I licked it and nothing happened.

[vocky]

Thanks vocky is this right so far?

 

yes that is correct, the alternator cable should be connected, so that in your picture, the nut would be nearest the bulkhead

What about the purple wire that is now loose?

what purple wire ?

 

you might have an additional cable for the cc pump, this would connect to the large red cable on the starter motor bolt.

Get in there Stuwy, proper progress and great to have you straight back in the saddle. Wish I was there to help but it looks like you had Batman on your side. Good luck, I reckon this will be sc'd by the weekend.

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

Batman is no were to be seen today!

What is this?

[chris_uk]

it goes on your throttle body or if you use a 68mm sc setup its open to atmosphere.

[nicollow]

Thats the vent pipe for the fuel tank...

[vocky]

Batman is no were to be seen today!

What is this?

cut it off along the straight section (going downwards in your picture), then connect the chopped off end onto the 68mm TB, then join the two pipes back together with some 8mm fuel hose.

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

sweet, thats what I thought and done that

 

on a side note.. errr I finished... its all done (not the whole to do list) but the conversion If I had a drill I would have started it, but I need a drill to mount ecu and CC tank.. also I want it checked over first

 

pics to follow

Good progress bud

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

 

Is this ok? Nothing is touching and I re-routed a few cables and wires so there is about a inch gap

Is that where your old fuel lines ran? I was very worried where I was going to run them I ended up running mine over the alternator

[vocky]

 

 

Is this ok?

 

err, NO

 

that small single cable tie is all that's stopping your car from burning to a pulp

 

You need at least two heavy duty, good quality cable ties, preferably made by Tyrap (they have steel inserts to stop the cable tie from failing)

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

roger that 

[vocky]

I hate those fuel lines being there (on the sc conversions), the other option is to chop the fuel lines and move them over to the gearbox side

Edited by vocky, 15 May 2013 - 04:50 PM.

[oakmere]

I would at least put another cable tie around as a backup. As at the moment it looks like your 1 cable tie away from a fire ball. Can you not clip them to more than one point?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I ended up putting several cable ties just in case
