Wiring diagram...for a novice...

[AndyandTiger]

Hi all...need a little input from those more knowledgeable to see if my proposed rewiring of accessories will work. I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to electrics but want to have a crack at it!

Any advice would be great!

The logic is fine and it'll work Andy, but 20A isn't going to protect the smaller items. When I did mine I used a single bolt through the subframe to take all the ground connections which were terminated in loops to save on a busbar (because I'm tight).  Where you have a powered busbar I had a 4 - way fuse box with fuse ratings to suit the individual circuits.  I bridgedthe four teminals on one side of the fusebox and connected the live feed. The other side went to the individual circuits.

Other than that crack on!!

Thanks Bixxer. I think I get what you're saying and I've left out a critical element of the diagram. The Centech is a fuse box so each of the individual circuits will have it's own fuse (size dependent on the accessories requirements). Have updated the diagram but here's fingers crossed!

[Bixxer Bob]

Nope.

The live goes to the fuse rail.  The other side of the fuses goes to the individual circuits.  The circuits then converge on a common ground.  I've drawn part of it to give you the idea....

Right...gotcha. Makes sense now.

Now I just need the time to wire it!

I tend to leave auto-electrics to experts. My last attempt resulted in a lot of smoke and molten plastic behind the dash of my Sunbeam Sport

Geez...Timbox...don't scare me! She'll be right...
