What do I need?
Pezza - 11/1/08 at 03:59 PM

Right lads and lasses.
It's time to get the wiring sorted on me Indy.
I have the sum of bugger all in the way of wire/terminals etc and am trying to make a list of what I need to buy.
Do I need different types of wire?
How much wire do you think i'll need (normal amount of lights etc, savage switches)
bullet or spader terminals?

Any recomendations would be apreciated so I can get everything ordered up at the same time to save on postage. Also any online stores people have used would be a help.

Cheers

Ben

VWP do wires in different guages, colours and tracer colours.
you will need battery cables - big fat wires.

nexdt wires for high curents - fronat lamps.

then thinner wire for indicators, fule pump etc.

so really 3 sizes of wire.

for commnections fo for spade, not bullet - more reliable.

also consider a multi way connector that you can wire entire dash ot rest of loom, then you can unplug and remove it by undoing 1 connector. locost is to use a PC multiway connector but is time consuming making the connections.
conside using trailer wire - 7 core - for indicator/real lamps as you trail one cable insteda of having to keep a bunch of cables to fether.

then you need some sort of covering for the loom - convoluted tubing or sprial wrap - prefer the latter.

Cheers chaps.

Flasher relays: do I need 1 per indicator, or can 1 relay work for multiples? (1 per side say?)

Would 11 16.5 and 33amp thin wall cable be sufficient or do I need higher?

110 amp good for a bike battery?

Cheers
