Cheers Damon. I looked on mine to see if I could see what you mean. Did you mean the exhaust bracket that attaches to the side of the gearbox? If so, then the wire wouldn't reach that far. I have now attached it to the body anyway, as it's definitely an earth.
In other news:
Spent almost all day today laboriously routing the wiring in the engine bay, while mounting all the bits that need wiring up as I went along. Had to unwrap the loom and tease out some of the wires to reroute to suit the new positions of some components and then tape it all up again. However, it was time well spent as the loom looks tailor made to suit the kit and is very neat.
When I came to check stuff I had one or two problems:
Firstly, I plugged a couple of headlight bulbs into their connectors and turned on the lights. Nothing. Checked fuses and found a blown one. Replaced this temporarily with one of the other fuses in the fuse box. Now, when I turned on the lights the component in the picture below started to smoke so I turned them off straight away.
I can't find any info about this in the Haynes manual but I presume it's something to do with the lights? There's a coil of wire inside which gets quite hot when the lights are on. I tried it again and it smoked some more then stopped. I'm presuming it's supposed to get hot? It didn't blow any fuses. There must have been some crap on the coil which caused the smoke. Anyway, does anyone know what it's for?
The lights work OK on dip but I can't get main beam unless I hold the stalk back in the flash position. I'm hoping this may just be an earth problem but maybe I have damaged something on the unknown component?
