Spend lots of time working out your power distribution and fuses. Then sort out relays where needed. After that everything else is straightforward.

Pretty much what tom has said, start with working out the routing of everything, then power and it's distrution, the earthing, then break all the circuits down into mini looms, routing all the wiring as you go, hold in place with cable ties or tape, then loom tape it all up. If you start working out all the individual circuits out on paper, it will help it turning into a big confusing mess, and label the ends of wires as you go. If you get stuck on anything feel free to drop me a pm and I'll see if i can help out with anything from where i am :) On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

So for example for a small circuit or component drew 15a, and it was a 4ft run from the power source (starter) multiply that by two just to be safe (8ft) then 15a x 8ft = 120famps. So you'd look at the table under 3% 12v (starter rad fan etc use 10%) you'd go down to the first largest value (138famps) then left to the max amperage for engine bay to be on the safe side, if it doesn't exceed that then look at the size. So for above it would be 14awg. Edited by Carlzilla on 19th Dec, 2013. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Yes it's got a kinetic?? gasket, a nice Kad pinion support, some new pistons, a fully rebuild box with new wind age tray, a new stretched chain, the rotary assembly has been balanced. So every thing should be sweet now. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf
