Once the bodywork was more or less done with it was time to consider the wiring. I had bought a wiring module from Car Builder Solutions at one of the kit shows - cheaper as they did it VAT free and there was no carriage - together with its cover. I had done this as I am not good with electrics and this seemed an idiots guide to wiring. Here it is in place.



And here it is with its cover



Now this all looks very neat but it was, of course, before any spaghetti wiring had been done - I'll show you a picture with all that later. All I can say it doesn't look quite as neat now.
I had already laid the wiring from rear to front when the car was up on trestles. This was standard 7 core trailer wire and as it comes nicely sheathed can be clipped with P clips along the bottom chassis rail. I then made up a 'loom' to service both sets of rear lights from some left over trailer wire. The side panels were drilled where the side pods would go, fitted with grommets and the wires fed through but not attached to the rear light pods as they needed to be painted first.
So far so good. I then went about wiring up the engine. Luckily Dave Parr had given me a wiring diagram for the Guzzi engine otherwise I'd have been stumped. His diagram is very clear and it was simply a matter of following it to the letter. First though I had to buy some wire. Now the instructions that come with the wiring module from CBS again are very clear and even tell you what gauge of wire you need. I decided I'd do it all, more or less, in black wire and a quick visit to fleabay did the trick. I even picked up some cheap stuff which was surplus to a kit build from someone. At this point I could remember Dave telling me I'd need a shelf under the bonnet to fix various bits on so this was done by placing a sheet of ally across the width of the bay strengthened with some ally angle. If I were to do it again I'd make it bigger but here it is...





The next stage was to fit the bits that the wires from the alternator would need to go to, ie the regulator and the rectifier together with the brackets that hold the coils.
