MC2 Project - Chassis prep

Some small jobs on the weekend, trying to complete the ECU wiring and tackled the snapped roof bar stud :angry:

 

Went back and started from the middle, and twisted the bundle of wires in layers.  The ends nearest the plug all had a small curl put in the wires for strain relief once the heatshrink went on

Had to extend a few wires for the Lambda so a good excuse to try these new heat shrink solder joints I found online, worked pretty well and look good

Pinned the AEM puck wires in a separate shielded cable as per the other side of the loom

Want to run the loom up the bulkhead, across and out to the roll cage where the ECU will sit so did a test run first to make sure it fitted.  I've since heated and shaped the loom to fit nice and tight to the top of the fire wall to clear the extinguisher pipe

Okay, the dreaded snapped roof stud.  Had to protect the paint first with several layers of tape just in case before I drilled the stud out and through into the cabin

Careful pilot hole.....

and it comes through clear of the cage and in a easy place to work from the inside, phew!

Time to drill it to size and paint the area to protect it

EZ-out on the stud in the t-nut

Just the nut to paint and seal later on

looking good mate! saw those solder joints online before and thought about giving them a try, but didn't get round to ordering any in the end

I've been meaning to try them too, had them sitting there for a while and finally gave in.  The larger ones aren't so good though, well the ones I got anyway.
