Not a bad idea to route a few extra (for later) wires front to back with adequate length (neatly stowed of course)
I ran a pair of 10 gage, a 12 and a 14 gage I think.
Also nows a good time to relocate your battery if you are into that sort of thing.
You are going to need some serious pistons and camshaft to get even close to 150HP
I plan on moving the battery to the trunk. What are you thinking of for the 2 ten gage, 12 gage and 14 gage wires to the rear?
Thanks,
Dennis

Gotcha, thanks.

"Finally, if you're going whole hog, there are better places for a fuse box than under the hood..."
Please elaborate. Likely a simple explanation, but was just starting a search on putting the fuse box in the trunk. Must be a good reason it isn't done.
Thanks

I have a 69 02 down to the frame and being restored. Putting in a modified M10 engine with 318i head, and 1978 block and 38 DGES carb. Goal approx 150hp. Trying to address electrical issues/upgrades while I have a clean slate. I plan on getting a new wiring harness from Rhode Island Wiring Service
I would like to convert to modern fuses
Additions:
1. electric fan
2. A/C
3. stereo
4. fog lights
Upgrades:
1. 80 amp alternator
2. hi torque starter
I'm not doing this myself, plan on having most of it done, but not sure what else I should be considering or asking about. If you could start from scratch with your car, what would you consider for the electrical system?
Thanks,
Dennis

When I copy and paste the link above it says page cannot be found

I will try a different browser

Do you have an order number I might reference as it would be a copy of your order?

Is the link broken?

Is this still available?
Thanks,

I have to imagine there are others who would pay to have one made based on your experience. I'm actually looking at this very thing, for a 69 to boot. Any reason to believe your harness was not stock in some aspect?

Looks great!

Thanks all for the information.

Ended up going a different route. Thanks for your consideration

Bilstein b8 struts, looking for a pair
Thanks,

Looking for a pair of Bilstein b8 struts for a 69 02. All the usual stores have the inserts but not the strut assembly. Anyone holding a pair they would consider letting go of?
Thanks,

Unlikely, but might as well ask...
Getrag 245 OD?

Looking at swapping the current 4 sp with a 240/5. Read several posts, trying to make sure I am comparing apples to apples.
1. Will this fit the tunnel without modification (I believe it may as it is more square than the 245 from a previous post)
2. Not the more desirable 245/5, but was rebuilt by BMW in Germany. If I understood correctly, the weaker internals would have been replaced when rebuilt. Dependable, sturdy?
Using it as daily driver with occasional track days.
Thanks much,
Dennis

Does the 240/5 require modification of the tunnel?
Thanks,
Dennis

Planning on using the later 12 fuse set ups as a template. Any areas that needed tweaking on the 12 fuse boxes in terms of schematics?
Will do, I like organization
Thinking of using a mix of some in cabin, some in engine bay. Haven't got that far yet
Thanks all,
Dennis
