Just wiring in some gauges and have decided that rather than having 6 seperate wires for earth and illumination coming from the gauges I have put all 3 earths into one block and all 3 illumination wires into one block (see bottom left) - one wire from each will then go to the back of my clocks for illumination and one will go to earth (now all 6 wires go into only two wires- fused of course.

Is this dodgy??

nope.thats fine.just make sure they are wrapped round each other and tighten then up good.

I'm sure that'll be fine it's only 3w bulb in each or something. and that block is plently big enough.

itl be protected by the fuse supplying the bit you are going to tap in to. i.e sidelights etc.

Personally I prefer to solder joints rather than use the chocolate blocks, but that's just me.

looks good nice work. cant see any thing wrong with that just as long theres no way wires cant rub on each other

Minter - thought as much!!! Only thing is I've run out of that small cable and only have 1.5 cable left will this make a difference if i use this size cable on the other side of the block connector?

Also I will be doing the same with the ign live, switch and ground from the gauges for the sender units and sensors

ran out of solder and chocolate blocks come free of charge with the clocks.

nope.even 1.0mm cable will do.not like there will be much load on them.you can obvioulsy use bigger too.
