Jaymo Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Regarding the tow bar wiring Do you have a soldering iron? If so and if it were me Cut the inner core exactly to the depth of the terminal and then 'tin' with solder. Looks sooooo much nearer and gives better 'purchase' within each terminal. Or at v least to help with my 'compulsion' is to sort out the red link wire as per your photo But sure is looking great though-- as to a ride on Valentine's Day! No photos are needed :-) Edited January 29, 2017 by Jaymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) now this top one is just sat in place, think it just needs a couple of screws in it, and the front bit will take some thinking about and will need to be a 2 man job to hold it in place and work it all out, but its taking shape Edited January 30, 2017 by viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
