AC lines going through the floor in tank cavity....charcoal canister we made to vent the tank fumes....
Image

All the wiring is braid wrapped or PVC sleeved....the firewall plug is aircraft spec but makes engine removal (if needed!) a one connection deal (apart from fuel etc)
Image

Fuse panel distributes power to reverser camera, reverse sensors, and LED reverse lights plus a few other components in the engine bay....earth distribution block avoids having a heap of wires running to body grounds all over the place
Image

Custom dry sump tank vents to catch can (breather filter not fitted yet in the pic)....obviously this is during fitout before all connections were finalised
Image

Micro switch under the bus controls the heater booster fan (on the engine fan shroud), operated by the lever on the dash
Image

Dual optima yellow top batteries
Image

All engine management electronics were mounted behind the rear seat but had to be up high to clear the sub box
Image

Oil thermostat (-12 lines), fuel shut off tap (makes fuel system maintenance a lot easier)...and other stuff...
Image

Two four channel amps power the 8 mid range woofers and 4 tweeters (all controlled via the Alpine processor)
Image

LED strip light in engine bay helps to see oil level (sight tube on tank) at night...

Few more pics for perusal...

Engine update:

Engine bay wiring....
Image

Licence plate backing serves a couple of purposes (other than the obvious)....it also hides the dimple die holes for fan ventilation, and also provides a mount for the reverse camera
Image

Mid way through rear bumper wiring

Bit of sunshine through the Webasto electric sun roof

Scissor jack, wheel brace and fire extinguisher tucked up under the back seat out of the way but accessible

Decided to stick with factory mirrors (painted in gloss and satin schwarz) as everything aftermarket just looked wrong

Tray was Rhino Lined for protection and longevity

Yeah mate, all done. Will come back for a few days to check everything over, do a final tweak on the EFI (idle dropping too far when AC is on)...but otherwise finished ;)
