and i moved the ignition coil to under the dash, beside the fusebox, is this a bad idea? or is it safe there?

That bracket for attaching the fan is wicked, where did you pick that up from or did you fabricate it yourself?
1980 Series 1 GTI (gone now .. what a mistake selling her!)
1979 Series 1 LD - the Mandarin Dragon … gone as well. oh dear.

Are you using loom tape for the bay? I'm re-doing mine soon and thought it needed to be fire proof? Does it?

Great work Brad,

i was going to use it for both inside the car, and in the engine bay, but i never thought about it needing to be fireproof, i just assumed it would do the job as it was listed as loom tape, but maybe i should have a rethink

I think the reasons for this are to prevent any sparks occuring. Any Exposed insulation will/could touch the chassis of the car resulting a spark.
This is why you see the fuel pump normally in the back of the car away from other live cables etc, and the fact it needs to be pumped there

There are too many online users to list.
