Charred crispy ac wires.jpg

I am not happy with the charred and crispy wires in the corner near the fuses. I am also not very happy about cutting-back the nicely-marked factory wires. But balancing these two un-happinesses, I'll cut them back ~6" and re-make safe wiring.

Ah - much better! Laced, placed, soldered and sleeved. The sleeve was harvested from the removed T202 (above), then split down the side; the idea is to prevent possible wire-chafe on the sharp edge of the fuse panel. I traced the wires before connecting, to ensure that the hot/supply circuit runs to the rear of the fuseholder, for safety when changing.
