John's Lightweight...

The terminal are specific to Bussman as far as I know. The seals are the same as Weatherpak. You need a Weatherpak type crimper.

[Rambler]

Thanks for the heads up.  Having looked at the info. on the Waytek site it looks a bit more complicated (but very professional) than I'd first thought.  I don't have the necessary crimper tools, or terminals for this, and the relays I've got aren't compatible.  I'll have a think about whether to go this route as I get further along with my rebuild.  It might be an upgrade I leave 'till I know more about rewiring my S2.

This was the place that sold a kit with all the bits: http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/aux-relay-fuse-panel.html  IIRC, shipping was a bit pricey or perhaps they did not have stock at the time.  I'm not 100% sure.

For anyone else interested, here is the manufacture's page:

To answer the terminal question, they use Delphi Packard Metri-Pack® 280 Series terminals and Delphi cable seals (same as Weatherpak).

The model I used was 15303-2-2-4 which has a bus for the fuse input (normally to feed power to all the fuses) and the relay coil (normally to ground all the coils).  Total cost was $98 USD plus $18 shipping plus tax and duty but included a lot of extra seals and terminals, probably enough for three installations.

There is also a larger version that would probably be good for doing a complete vehicle:

Finally got the truck back home. Started a few projects of parts that I picked up over the winter.

First one. Swap out the winch hook.  https://www.warn.com/truck/accessories/premium_winch_hook.shtml

Next add OJOP battery quick connect terminals.  http://www.ojopsweden.se/sc.php?meny_id=19&id=2&klickid=2

That's a slick idea ;-)

[Red90]

I had mentioned a sticky starter solenoid last year, so I decided to modernize it for improved reliability with a waterproof contactor. Albright SW80P. http://www.albrightinternational.com/files/downloads/catalogues/SW80P.pdf  Picture shows the solenoid on the left and the contactor on the right.  Went straight in with zero modifications.

A few things today.  Powerspark HE electronic distributor, coil and wires.  http://www.simonbbc.com/bundle_deals/high_energy_distributor/land_rover_45d_high_energy_distributor_dlb198_ignition_coil_8mm_ht_leads  Just for more reliability.  Seems to run the same.

[Red90]

Installed GME GX300 water-resistant CB.  From Aussyland, but run the same 40 channels as here at the same wattage.  Come with a cover as well when not in use.  Looks like their is a new version out now with a more modern look.

And lastly, I replaced the stock, single speed wash/wipe switch with a Cole Hersee electronic switch.  It has variable intermittent, and wipe with wash as well as two speed.  Not using the two speed as the wiper in the truck is not the two speed version.  Fits right in the stock location.

I like the wiper switch....intermittent.....mmmmmmmm

[Red90]

Does your Defender not have intermittent wipe?  I wonder if that came out at a later date.  Mine has it.

[binch]

No, mine has "on/off", "slow" and "not much faster" for settings.   You can use the washer for a pulse.   Nothings too good for a squaddie ;-)

I wonder what switch you are using?

[Red90]

Looks to me from the parts catalog it came out with the Defender introduction in 1991.

You need:
Switch, PRC7370
Delay unit AMR2341

These are meant to be connected with a loom PRC8295, which is NLA, unfortunately.  Perhaps you can grab a used one........seeing as you are in the right place.

I've marked up the later wiring schematic.  Green highlighted wires exist, purple are new.  The one wire (the low speed) is re-routed to the relay.  NLG (Brown/light green trace) in the original truck.

If I understand it correctly:
WG - Intermittent switch output signal
G - Switched +12V
LGB - Wash pump
YLG/NLG - Low speed wipe
RLG - High speed wipe
ULG - Wiper motor park

How do you like the power spark ign? I've had good luck with Petronix so I haven't really looked at other options for a long time.

I didn't even know there was a power spark option for the 2.25?

Usually when I get intermittent wipers on a Series Land Rover it's because of a short or ground fault lol.
