[b]Update 48 - Final ECU electricals, Trans tunnel, door jams, dash pad and seats[b]

Having mounted the Omex 600 there were a couple of things that were outstanding. Firstly there is the 12v relay feed to power the injectors and also the connection of the injector pump control line from the ECU to the fuel pump. This enables the ECU to auto prime the fuel system as long as the emergency fuel switch is thrown.



Both 12v feeds we felt needed to be fused - coming off the master electrical switch (the red key). Its always good to label things so you know what they are later.



Making up the wiring feeds to power up the relays



Sorting out the relay bracket



A couple of hrs later all the wiring is in and its time to be tested.



This is the first time the electricals have been fired up in two years and we've made a lot of changes. So we flip the master switch and twist the key... nothing... !! Doh!

We realise that the relays are diode relays and may not be powered up given the feed direction. We flip the wires and boom! On twist of the key, the pumps fire up for two seconds and go silent as needed. The DL1 fires up and the Dash comes on a reads out the relevant sensor info. Fantastic, electricals work.

Door jam
The original aluminium door jam finishes were toast and are not available any more. So what to do... the aluminium ones didn't last so well so we decided to look at a stainless steel option. We sorted out some thin stainless and had it put through a brush effect finisher. Following a lot of cutting, bending and fettling we managed to get them fitted to both sides. We used beading rubber to provide a finisher for the inside edge and help with draft exclusion.





Fitting the trans tunnel
Having had the trans tunnel powder coated it needs to be fitted.. we did some preliminary fitting to make adjustments for the 6mm drop due to the use of Aluminium for the floor rather than plywood sheet.

The remaining adjustments that needed to be made was related to the bulkhead holes. These were obviously too high up now so there was a bit of trial fitting and drilling required.







The transmission tunnel fits nicely and looks smart in black.





Dash Pad

I'm keen to keep the dash pads in both cars so having stripped away the white leather it will be re-covered. However there are some adjustments to the pad to help the fitment when it gets all put back together. You can see in this shot, we've cut out the holes for where the Brooklands screen mounts go, I've drilled out the original self tapper holes and put advils in. I've sourced suitable stainless Philips screw head bolts to match up to the screen mounts.



The dash pad all lines up with a bit of manipulation.



The seats

Finally there are the seats... when we originally built this car Sparco were unable to supply a second set of pro alloy mounts so we ended up fabricating a suitable set of mounts to deal with the constraining factors of a Morgan.



Sparco still make the mounts but they are a slightly different size and design. The overall concept is the same just not quite in several ways.



With a bit of compare and contrast you can see the comparisons from the original brackets and the new style.



Personally I prefer the originals however these will also work.

This is not quite final fit but its getting there




Wing brackets
Finally the wing brackets, we have the originals of these however having stainless bar of a suitable size on the shelf we quickly fabricated new ones, these will probably outlive the car.





We've also sorted all the rear lights electricals, the horn and the cooling fan otter switch (we did have a choice for the ECU to control this on the Omex 600 but the 200 does not have this function so otters all round to keep things simple).
