A couple more. The last picture is of the electric vacuum pump.

well awesome! I see your playing with the thread edit features 
The wires to the field and push button should also be fused. Otherwise when the field shorts later down the road and you draw more amps to ground you suffer the chance of a wire melt down or smoking dash syndrome.
Did you remove the resistor?
What is the vacuum pump from? Also lets see your alternator....
Cool !

Nice, love the purple wire loom. I'm also interested in the vacuum pump specs and which alternator are you going to be using? I've thought about upgrading to a more powerful alternator but did not want to loos the vacuum pump, at the same time I did not want to add one that is attached to the belt system and takes away more room.

Yup, fun with threads
The switch I installed is fused, I would have thought the solenoid is fused with a fuseable link or at the block, never really checked.
I don't know where the resistor is. I did disconnect a wire from the top of the feed for the glow bus bar. (where the melting occured) and checked the voltage at the bus bar. It's 12V +/-. Sure works good, I started it tonight from cold. 15 seconds and I was off, it's never worked this good.

These are not cheap units nor should they be. It's Swiss made, 100% duty cycle, no vacuum isn't an option. Again, I've got this running off the IGN side, it's funny to have the clutch and brake booster work even when the trucks not running. Haven't sourced a new alternator yet. With the impending HJ60 project coming up, the BJ will be on the back burner for awhile. Looking forward to a turbo'd six cylinder, 4.56's, ARB. Of course, I still need to build it, but it's all there. I picked up an H2, 5 spd and t-case on Saturday. (The HJ I bought has a blown engine, 2H, go figure and an auto tranny).

I have not farted around with my resistor, so this is speculation.... But I'm pretty sure when you look at you melted pic in the first post that the resistor goes into the intake manifold. To by pass the resistor I would just bolt the busbar leads down together in that spot. which out isolators that feed you thru it. My guess is the resistor is completely shot and you get full voltage thru it.,
also not sure if you have done this, but open the side kick panel on the LH side to disconnect the glowplug timer. otherwise it will keep all the circuits live even though the relay wires are cut.

The '55, which has an '81 BJ60 harness in it (non-SuperGlow), runs the glow wire directly to the plug on #4 cylinder, there is none of the other stuff there, no resistor, no isolators, nothing. I can take a picture if you want.
If I were doing this Wilson switch thing that's what I would do!
If you're pulling out glow relays don't toss them! I may be interested when the FJ45LV is far enough along. I'll be in Surrey next summer again. I even hope to make "Cruiser Days" in 2008!

If you saw my shop you'd know I don't throw out anything... drives my wife crazy.

Must be a 'Cruiser thing!! I've seen Mike's shop and Steve's basement and they are pretty full too! I've even got a couple of plastic tubs of 'Cruiser parts down here! Anyone need ball and claw parts?
