Hello again,

I need to mount the horn relay (at or close to the frame or maybe to a mudgard panel).
I have an assembly with an SRB111/121 (if i did not mix up) not sure where to mount. It has bolts for another relay or as mounting points ...
2nd pic: That's the way it was hanging around years ago :-)

Any advice welcome !
Thx, Tom

Edit: Has to go to the mudguard even if the cables seem quite short - sorry for asking !

Now I am struggling with the fuel-feed pipe :D

The metal pipe ends at the lower frame and is continued with a low diameter (5mm) rubber pipe with a plastic connector at it's end. On the other side I have a 10mm pipe feeding the carbs.
What is missing in between (and why was it done that way) ?

SNG sells an under hood fuel hose pipe set consisting of 4 pieces:
https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#/UK ... a5d6d11222
but even if i had it I would not know how to interface the plastic connector (which I don't like btw :D).
I guess the two short ones are connecting the crosspipe to the carbs. The longer ones are the feed and return pipe but I am missing the connection down to the frame.

I will purchase braided hoses for the return (8mm) and 10mm (carb feed line).

Any advise welcome !
Kind Regards, Tom

Oh yet another question:
Where is the grounding supposed to be attached to the frame ? Is it here and should I blank the post for better contact ? The grounding strap for the engine is attached between the bell-housing and the frame yes ?

That 5 mm hose with the plastic connector is the fuel expansion tank vent, that connects to your charcoal canister, it is NOT the fuel supply.

That SNGB hose kit you reference, I suspect it is for the fuel lines in the back (boot/trunk) connecting the tank and the fuel pump and fuel filter, is not for the engine bay.

The earth strap between the frame and the bell housing is on the left side, bottom bolt.

Oops - well :D
So when i have dropped the filter stuff should i blank it off ?

Thanks for the picture. I found the strap in one of the many boxes.

What about the connection from the battery to the chassis ?

Thank you VERY much !

Pipe found :D

You have to know that i did not disassemble the car by myself and things have been resting for years. I do take pictures almost anytime but much of the car was returned in boxes :D

Happy to help. My 1st motorbike was the same - boxes of bits. Some people buy jigsaw puzzles ...
Imo you should reinstate the fuel expansion tank and charcoal canister, these perform useful functions irrespective of any emissions control benefit. In any case I doubt you will get registration without these oem parts.

:thankyouyellow:

This thick (probably AWG1) cable is about 80cm long. Is this supposed to be attached on the inside of the grounding bolt maybe ? Sorry i did not clean and fix the connectors yet.

Thank you, Tom

p.s: I have already a valid registration done in the end 90s and when checking exhaust gases they always had to close both eyes even with the US stuff, retarding, blabla fitted. I hope to get better emission values with an electronic ignition system.

Edit: Found another ground strap ~30cm long ?

But should be i think - it also has the typical black plastic strap (but uncolored wires ?) ? Unfort. the plugs are not shown in the circuit diagram but the 4 pin plug should be unique but I did not (yet) find the counterpart.

A really big puzzle and the last 10% are the hardest. :studyinggray:

False alarm :D (Just wondering where that cable assembly comes from :scratchheadyellow: )

Any idea where the neatly isolated ground strap could go ?
