Thanks for the great pointers! I'll have a look as soon as time allows! Still wondering where I would find the cables/contacts that ought to run parallel to the mirror adjustments. But they might be folded away inside the door. Or, maybe I should just rewire them from the "AC" unit and under the...

Slightly off this topic, but does anyone know what parts number the wiring has that has the mirror defrosters included. My 105 is an import from Saudi and didn't come with heated mirrors. I have purchased the switch and the cirquit board is I guess for economical reasons prepared for it. But I...

Finally got around to redo the previous owners air gauge install, and coupled it with an isolator override switch. (Monetary "boost" function or latching "winch") Will probably make a few more versions before I am completely happy but this will do! Left USB outlet shows main and aux battery V...

Great! Thanks for that!

Thanks for the quick reply! And that cable seems very reasonable, and what I have myself sourced for the task. I was talking aboutabout the gauge for the wire that goes to and from the button. ( Sorry for not being clear enough.) In my case it will be roughly 15-20feet as it needs to go to and...

Very nice! Great to see more Redarc cars being assembled! Question regarding the battery link/start battery wiring. What gauge did you use? As it tends to be rather long, and is fused with a 5A it ought to be rather thick imho, or am I overthinking it?

Yes of course, it's just that I have no idea how much warmer, ie if it's 190F I would guess we get up to just around 140F around here. As we don't get temps near the hottest regions in the states, I can only give you my personal experience so far, but I agree that nylon might be a better bet...

I installed my printed version this summer, I think I printed it with ASA but can have a look tomorrow. So far it shows no signs of warping or cracking as the PLA prototype did after a few days in the sun. We had about 95°F here, don't know what the temp in the car was but no problems as...

That one has been covered in another thread, and as far as I remember one of the companies making the mirrors threatened to sue the manufacturer of the 3D printed mount.. Since then I have made my own, but would love to have a finished product, preferably with a way to hide the cables. Will...

It's pretty much what you have in your picture, just that mine is mirrored so the ashtray is on the right side. My idea was if you could make a whole new piece so that the two cigarette outlets are further left, did a quick photoshop edit attached. (It looks terrible I know) Otherwise I guess...

Hi Ben, have been following this thread for quite some time and am really amazed by your work! Is this project still up and running? I have quite a few things I would like to have custom made to fit here as my car has had owners before me with different ideas on how to mount things. As it is...

Brilliant install! I get wobble from the original Gentex version, quite a bit of jumping around just driving on the highway and I don't see any easy way of adjusting the tension without modifying the mount with screws or the likes.

Are you talking about the contactors on the winch? If so, I have 5 cables/pins, not three. The contactors you are talking about are the ones from the winch solenoid to the motor right? I was thinking I should not connect anything to those?

I would agree that it should stay on the entire time. I do have a TJM 500A switch/disco between the battery and winch positive. That was my plan. And would you think it's the white wire looking at Slee's diagram? It wouldn't be too hard to wire it like that instead of like Redarc has drawn on...

But if that's the case, why go to the trouble of writing up that wiring diagram? Isn't there a point in having some kind of signal from the winch activate it? I have been thinking about putting a latching switch inside the car for winching as an option to this. As I have a momentary switch for...
