Watson Streetworks Vw wiring instructions

elev8_dude:
The neatness or simplicity of the installation would be down to the wires going to the fuse box, that sounds almost too obvious. But what I mean is that the watson main fuse panel really only saves you the spaghetti of the wires from the fuses to the replays and gives an idiot like approach to connection.
When the kit is going in afresh all the connecting wires are going to be the right length and routed accordingly. When you are retro fitting it will certainly require extending some wires and the untidiness comes back. Maybe that is too much of a pure view of the problem.
As far as connecting all your items up it wouldn't be an issue, there are 3 spare fuse locations and the MSD would be run off a relay anyway. The kit expects all gauges to be run from a single fuse so that would be straight forward.

Although rereading you post, why not just change the just the fuse panel and relay with something like this.

You’re right on the retro fit. I defiantly don't want to splice and add more wire. I like your "link" ideas. Would those be hard to wire up or are they pretty straight forward. I like the second link the best. Thanks for all the help.

I have the watsons instruction but unfortunately don't have a scanner at the moment (plus the pages are A3 size) - being in Australia doesn't help much either (can't exactly zip around to have a look!).

Here is a link detailing some of my installation (I used the full kit though rather than retro fitting)...

If you are really stuck I guess I could take a pic of the insutructions with the digital camera then email them to you? Let me know.

Cheers

Its good to tqalk to you DASDUBBER. Its your car that got me started on the whole idea. I've been tracking you for about 3 months maybe more. You did an excellent job on the wire install. I'm afraid though that my OEM wiring won't be easily retro fitted to a GM type Blade Fuse block (like Watsons). My goal to to have my wiring clean and tighty (like yours). I might look into the links offered above.

I would love to see Watsons instructions, however if its to much trouble don't worry about. Thanks for the info. Love the car, I show everyone over in the states your gallery.
