[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 38930, member: 2781"] Sid here again . Not far off subject but our Vincati is nicely equipped electrically . Up forwards in the GT instrument housing top face I managed to encorporate a miller Ammeter , two double throw toggle switches and one LED lamp . Got a VDO tach in there too . On the left. side just past the clutch dome is a SS master panel with a keyed main switch , another toggle shutting out the electric starter If desired , and another LED indicating that position is on . Twin fuses , one to the starter circuit , the other feeding the main trunk line protect all systems . A Series D Dist. System is used . Gives instant starts . A Halogen HL bulb up front and a parking lamp . In the tail lamp I managed to mount twin small sockets , one each side of the center big socket , these twin small bulbs come on with the parking system and so give town lights with the big bulb off to cut drain . Stop light switches both front lever operated and foot brake which ever is applied . I laid out this wiring system and was really cuffed that it all worked as planned . I fed all ground leads to a braded car battery ground cable , this bolted to the motor and feel that this is important to its success . I may describe the motor s power mods next . [/QUOTE]
