Good morning Mossberg Owners. Still working late nights on the SS 100 kit kar.
The builder of this car left out quite a number of bolts, and at least six steel brackets, which are integral to the structure of the car. I’m getting it squared away nicely now but it was sure a wobbly mess when I got it.
The worst part of this entire car was the electrical wiring. What the hell is this pile of wires in the nose of the car?
Some of it went to the fuel gauge. The rest is for the lamps and it is a tangled mess.
Here the wiring is exactly as I received it. Yuck!
I tore the wiring out of this car a year ago, because it was a mess of crude taps, splices, extensions, and loosely crimped terminals. It’s still not all together but the lights are done, thefuse panel is in, all the major wires aredone, and I have the gages polished up and gettin’ wired.
Of course, unlike a production vehicle where everything is well thought out inadvance, nothing is well thought out on this car, and you have to fiddle with every little bit.
The original wiring harness seemed to wind up a little short at random switches and every damn lamp, and so it got bits spliced onto it.
Wires were spliced with electrical tape and marked with 30 year old bits of sticky masking tape.
Yet here was 3 extra feet of harness just coiled up underneath the gas tank doing nothing!
Well it was soaking up the dripping gas, which turned all the electrical tape into goo and made the colors on the wire run off.
Anyhow wiring continues here, And I will be locked up in the garage, but you all have a nice day.
