#1 Voltmeter and ignition relay done

Post by DWW » Wed Apr 13, 2022 4:27 pm

Completed all the electrical improvements behind the gauge panel and she is beautiful again, no hot key and alternator charging visible. Thanks to everyone for the help and advice to the links to very helpful posts about those subjects.

The beauty in the relay is that reliability is increased and the load is moved away from the ignition switch to a component more suitable for the level of current draw.
