I started the week by fixing to the underside of the floor the last few U-clamps over the battery cables.  These are now fully secured and connected to the control box.  Connecting the lighting circuits to the control box continued with the indicators, the final connections being the  the dynamo and starter motor connections, which is another small milestone.   Some thought was then given to locating the junction of the various indicator cables above the cab door.  A box for this was ordered.  I next gave the new wing a coat of red oxide as part of preparation for final fitting after the electrics have all been tested.  I also fitted the conduit cover over the cable entry into the control box, under the cab floow.  This was tricky but went on after some adjustment of the cables and increasing the size of the opening for the cable entry.  Testing is next.  All the testable circuits worked, except for the starter motor which refuses to turn although the solenoid operates.  The voltage at the SM+ cable is low compared with B+ which is showing 25v offload with both (admittedly old) batteries in circuit, whereas SM+, which should be the same, is showing about 19v.

A slow start to the week, tidying and fastening  wiring behind the O/S front wheelarch and drilling the holes to mount the cover for these.  I also checked all the electrical connections to the multicore and locked the screws with yellow paint.  The pace picked up a bit then, first by fixing the the cross link battery cable to the floor on the O/S, then completing the positive battery cable with a short length from the hidden isolator switch to the cab, securing it and the negative cable to the front bulkhead.  Next, I installed the control box, feeding all the low-current cables up the back of the control box and through the slot into their intended positions, then trimming and soldering tags for connections, alternately with working under the bus , where I secured the negative battery cable on the O/S and as close to the N/S as possible, both the propshaft and exhaust system obstructing access to the floor, but the cables are now safely out of their way and mostly secured along their lengths.   Continued soldering tags on the control box connections, the very hot weather makng it impossible to do much else.
