Matt Bengry generously donated another Sunday to working on my brat. A little hot glue to water proof some splices under the hood.
We got the fan relays wired up, the dash reinstalled and most of the wires hooked back up. I then proceeded to turn the key forward not realizing it was already in the on position, causing the car to turn over since the brat did not have a neutral safety switch and since it was in gear it drove itself off the sideways wheels it was sitting on instead of jack stands. No injuries to the people or car involved, just a lot of laughing at stupidity and glad we didn’t have to have a near miss safety meeting. We spent the last hour of working chasing some strange key gremlin where the key functions off, accessory, run and start all work correctly, but lock functions kind of like on, but with 10v instead of 12v.
I think the switch is funky and I’ll replace it since it is still available. I’m also failing at getting the gauge cluster to go back in place. More work to do, I need to put my specialist on it.
I also did some grinding and removed the heat shield to get the cat to fit, you can see my addco sway bar mounted.
