Auxilliary lights on a vindic?

Post by ELVIS »

Been using my brain and trying to think of a workable solution.

'Simple' problem - want to put some lights on my vindic, sounds easy.

How the chuff do I wire them intot he engine bay without doing any damage to the load bed/bodywork/having wires on the surface?

Only way I can see to do it is have a small hole in load bed with grommet/convoluted ducting and keep it as small as possible so it will weld/patch if ever needed.

Ideas? :ok

Mine has rear flood lights, but connection is through in to the cab roof by the rear window. It a Swedish ex utilities pick-up so it looks like they were done from new.

Drill though the bulkhead under the window, proper grommit and Tiger Seal and route the wires behind the seat and to the front.

Cheers chaps.

Good thinking, can use the super sticky pads on the inside to clip wiring conduit in place so don't have to drill fibreglass.

Have got some high level taillights and I want to put on the canopy :ok

If ever you're going to remove the Vindic, you'll want an easy way to disconnect the wiring... Trailer sockets are _perfect_ for that kind of thing, and cheap.
