Hi,
Just purchased a Stanza Rally Car. Have just started rewiring it as it blew a fuse and broke down on its first drive home
Currently has battery mounted behind seats with heavy + lead to the starter and an isolator switch inline. Output lead from alternator runs smaller wire back to starter/battery connection. Alternator feed then goes into the factory wiring harness with similar smaller (original?) sized wiring.
Plan on running direct power to a fusepanel in cabin for intercom, tripmeter, uhf etc.
Another ignition switched fuse panel in cabin for fuel pumps, radiator fan, demister fan, heater etc.
Fuse panel under bonnet for items triggered off relays.
All other items will be run off the factory harness and fusepanel
- What sized alternator should I be running? What mounts to an L series?
- What sized wiring should I be running from alternator to starter/battery connection. I have some 4g and 8g wire.
- Where should I be running circuit breakers? Plan on running them for each extra fuse panel. One for the alternator feed to the factory wiring. What should I run for the alternator to battery connection?
- Could i use a relay triggered off the ignition to power up switched fuse panel in cabin. Or should i just mount Circuit breaker in Cabin and turn it off when not using.
Sorry for the lengthy post. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Anthony
