The prewired/constructed Fuse/relay module cost £90 and I am very happy with it. The terminals are good and as you see I ran all the cables to come underneath and up into the terminals.

I did strip out every wire in the car (some burnt and discoloured) and started from scratch. My wiring diagram should help if you go this route.

Time wise - took me about 30 hours but found it easier if I could have continuity without interuptions!

Cost wise - well Adrian 2 kindly delivered me a MGB complete wiring harness which contained all the wires in the colours I needed to replace the burnt ones and the changes to original + new terminals so maybe £15 all in.

Adrian 2 and I live in Norwich (Top of the league !!) , but maybe a helpful Marcos man closer to you could help!

Please PM me if I can help further ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Hillclimber) http://marcosforum.org/reply/24893 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:18:09 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Electrical issues.... ]]> http://marcosforum.org/reply/24890/t/Electrical-issues-.html#reply-24890 I live beween reading and coventry (home and work) but am currently looking at taking it to ECS in kent where i have been offered a good deal. 
How long did it take you to do the rewire and did you have any problems in the process? Looks like you have done a very thorough job of the fusing!

If you to my "Hillclimber" restoration site, about Oct 1, I have just finished my rewire.

The new fuse/relay/flasher module worked well and fitted it in a reduced size glove box area with light.

Where abouts do you live?

Initially, water was affecting the old-style fuses and i subsequently took it to an auto-electricians to get a new-style fuse box fitted in the hope of making the car a little more reliable.
After getting the car back, it still was not completely right and has since developed more problems. Due to this, i am considering trying to fit an entirely new loom, as this would be a much longer term solution rather than trying to bodge what is already there...
As i am completely new to the idea of auto electrics, i would be grateful for any opinions/advice you guys could give me. If anyone can recommend a good auto electrician i would be very grateful!

Thanks

Chris
