Just planning

Have not done that_much since getting the GT6 back, appart from re-fitting some components to get them out of the way and give me some idea of how to fit and link every thing together.

There are three main areas I want to concentrate on, the cooling system, fuel system and electrical systems. I believe the best place for the header tank for the cooling system would be in the battery tray, which of course means the battery will have to be re-located. The logical new site for the battery is in the boot area either behind the driver or next to the fuel tank, both sites will require the battery to be securely mounted and sealed.

As power is also required to get the fuel system fully functional, I have decided to concentrate on the electrical system first.

The current system uses only three fuses and two solenoids, the new system, which I have been musing over for a few hours now, will have space for 26 fuses and nine relays. The reasoning behind this is to make the electrical system safer, any faults easier to find, capable of supplying the extra power now required and up to modern standards.

The big bulkhead mounted solenoid will be redundant, replaced by the solenoid on the Nippon Denso starter and the horn relay and flasher units will be replaced with modern type electronic units all fitted in a combined fuse and relay box.
