Little update. Did a bit more Again on the battery wiring, so there was less wires having to go in the same hole.
I think it is there now.

Hopefully picking up my sharktooths tomorrow from refurb shop. Cant wait,got new centre caps for them to from Ford.
Been busy on the car today giving it a good clean for the first time since I have been back from sea. Thank god the weather held off today. Still need to do the engine bay.
Once I done that by 12 today I took the calipers apart and stripped them of the old crap layered paint that I had put on a few years ago. Will be re applying paint somepoint later this week better than before (taking my time this time) and once that is done I should be very happy with the effect behind the sharktooths. Looked good before but should look even better now .

I forgot to get the after pictures after the clean today so if the condensation holds off I might get some photos in tomorrow morning.


I have also changed the power supply the secs monitor direct from the battery via a relay. Now I am seeing the batterys true voltage instead of the power draining ecu's voltage. 14.5/6 volts on start up then once warmed up to normal temps etc etc, steadying around 14.3/4 for the remainder. Very happy with that. Thing is though now I have done that when I put the ignition key to position 1 the alarms go off on the monitor saying temps, pressures too high but when in position 2 its fine, so not fussed about it really but thought i'd mention it if anyone on here knew why it is doing it just out of curiosity. Maybe because the ecu's power is off but the power to the new relay is still on in key position 1. Hell I think I have just answered my own question lol. Twat.
