summit order will be in thursday night sometime, after that I can put the rear brakes together. last night I started into something I've been not wanting to do, try and fix this mess!!

this is the mess of wires I have to figure out, some of it I know what its from because I had put the 3 gauges in, but I have to put black wire for the negative wiring, I didn't do that on initial install a few years back. The nest behind the radio I have no idea what's what yet.

all that was on this pic below was some electrical tape, and it wasn't even a good tape job, kinda scary LOL, and of course of the course of a dozen years the tape started to fall off. I'm not that best at this and I could have done it better the first time around!

and there's some wires that I had just thrown some blades on for the gauges a few years back and wedged them on the side of the glass fuses, I have to figure out whats the best wires to splice into for the power to these gauges now that I have a tad more knowledge than I did back then.

should be fun!

Is there a company out there that just makes a blade fuse block to put in place of the glass fuse block? I'd love to get rid of the glass fuses.

you'd have to update the harness, to change the fuse box, just find a switched power wire, and get rid of the wire under the fuses, get yourself some butt connectors and heatshrink, put them together,

out of curiosity, why would the harness have to be updated?

nothing really too exciting, but I got the rear brakes together, waiting on the drums which come in thursday. still have to order the master cylinder, should be very soon. I wanna pull this out of the garage and into the driveway to do interior work, lighting sucks in the garage!
