An Idea for placing relays and switches (on a 1977)

Post by geert »

Hallo,
relays ans switches being a 'hot' (sometimes 8) ) item (and being in a good mood with a perfectly outlined and driving Fiat :P :P ), somebody might be interested in my interpretation.

right : 'they' invented spaghetti )

goal : 1/good feed in the dashboard for radio,lamps,tripmaster etc + extra fuses for the new lines
2/ and relays for lighting (incl foglights front-rear)
3/ place for switches foglights etc AND replacing switches-lights from the central little pannel ( brakelight, rheostat, wipersspeed..) to use that space for tripmaster, GPS ...

some pics :

you need good wiring diagram ( Brad !) and good connections

Great post. I never think to take photos when working and often times later I wish I had so I could share them.

Great looking car also

Car looks very nice! My car is missing the front spoiler, and it looks like yours is a narrower one than stock? Is that correct? Curious where you got it, if it is non-stock. I plan to put one on eventually.
