Another beetle audio install - progress pics

[Dasdubber]

I have finally finished the fuse panel wiring along with the battery - the last two wires (one to oil pressure sender and other to alternator) were also ran. Just a few to tidy up under the bonnet before the amps go in and wiring starts for them.



Also the 8.5mm silicon spark leads were connected (getting the lead from coil to firewall shortened currently). Now the carbs can go back on.

Not that you don't already have your hands full, but have you considered the serpentine belt system for the alternator? I'm just not a fan (no pun) of the stock pulley system as you can get a lot of odd vibation from the belt and with a big fan they can slip.

The Serp system would also look really nice with how fit, trim, and clean everything else is!

I did think about it but I wasn't aware there was a type IV crank pulley available in the serpentine system. Also the upright conversion I bought already came with this crank pulley, and with funds drying up fast I couldn't justify changing yet another change (have had too many changes already!!).

I think I'll leave it for now (cash is required elsewhere!)...brakes are now hooked up and bled, doors readjusted and a few more wiring bits tidied up.
