Hi digs this is the breaker I was planning on http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390999688324?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=660364630113&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I know a lot of folk hesitate with sellers from China, maybe hubby is lucky when choosing as always had good service and decent goods. Hubby is planning on routing power feed under the dash with a hidden kill switch, then trailing the cable down the drivers side, if I understand his sketch correctly and then running a continuous earth from boot to bay This is the cable he is looking at, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151381014392?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=450559738013&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT he has checked with them that it is all copper cable, as some have a aluminium core with a copper outer layer. From the research hubby has done the ally stuff is generally cheaper but much heavier cable is needed compared to copper. Someone correct me if I am wrong on any of this please

Thanks Limey, the circuit breakers look very neat in my eyes, and cheaper . Waiting for hubby to finish the shopping list for everything and then to order some good weather for a few days, as if

Another question for you guys, what are your views on fitting a circuit breaker instead of a fuse at the battery end ? If so would 150 amp unit be good, or is it likely to trip everytime the car is started ? Nothing like another brain teaser to start the day

Hi Dan, it is a minefield knowing what to use, the amount of differing views on what size/ gauge cable is best. I was planning on getting the cable this week so may well take your advice and drop the size, many thanks

Cheers Simon, yes its for battery a relocate. I have the cable in hand my query is we plan to put a fused connection to the original + feed cable under the bonnet (and another in the boot next to battery) My glitch is the cable Im using is 1.0 gauge and is far bigger than the orginal toyota feed. The fused link has a 1.0 inlet and optional gauge outlets, it just seems a weak link using the remaining toyota cable or have I answered my own question ? Hope this makes sense

Hi guys as per title can anyone tell me what gauge wire/cable the standard battery lead is please ?

Im no expert at wrapping unless its prezzies :xmas_smile: Birthday hint hint. What Tony suggests is not to trim the edges to close leave more on and stick to underside. Isnt pretty but no one sees it. One of mine I did was brilliant for a couple of weeks untill the heater blower decided to alter it, but am sure a better quality wrap may have survived. :xmas_smile:

My other half "the modgod" has been drawing and planning some graphics for mine while hes been recovering, as most say they really do take some serious planning to get right. Naturally |"Dragons" are to be a major part of his designs for my car, I still have a large dragon graphic he made that fills the gen6 bonnet in white, that was to be fitted to my last 6 . The hours he spent making it and it will never be used makes me feel a bit guilty so if anyone wants it youre welcome. Good luck with the ideas though would love to see more graphics about.

He uses the quick one, preferring to mix manually rather than using the nozzle and wasting material. Small repairs at at time eliminates wastage and should he cock up or alignment slip far easier to redo

Not trying to preach to you how to do this, But if I can relay this from my hubby the prep is most important with this kit. You will have a sheet of what is a type of polythene that is totally non stick which when put over the repair goo aids the smoothing out, if I can give one special tip hubby does is to find a way of putting some "extra weight/clamp, not a lot needed" on the patch to help with ensuring no air voids. And clean off as much excess to the outer show face asap before it fully sets as it can be a pig to sand down, as hubby found out the hard way which is testament to how good this stuff is. You already know my nosecone is 2 different and plastics bonded with this kit, he has used it on varied bits for instance a R33 nosecone to repair all the mounting tabs, spoiler for same and 3 years later still going strong. Brilliant on motorbike fairings, upto now he hasnt found anything in plastic or glass fibre it wont bond to. Ps No we are not in anyway attached to this company, just in case anyone is thinking so Hope this helps

The Nottingham firm Wayside adhesives that Limeymk1 recommended are brilliant for advice. My hubby has dealt with them quite a bit. The nosecone on my car is a mix of Toyota polyethelene and some form of plastic/ unknown resin on the lower section and he managed to bond these perfectly using there products

Another tip I was taught was to put a polythene bag on the master cylinder and screw the cap on, really does slow the fluid down

Mine is now near perfect, car at sprayers having final gremlins sorted, pics on my thread to follow tomorrow after Thoresby ​

I had a bloke last week who said " nice car bet it goes fast " my reply " fast enough for me " why do they think that we speed everywhere !!!!

You have it bang on Neil, I enjoy banter as much as the next person and no one can ever call me a prude. If I thought this club was a tool purely for notching the the bedpost or should it be handbrake then I wouldnt be here now writing this. In my opinion we are here for our cars, the banter "abuse from monkey boy and sonic" and the car meets How thick am I ??? Believe it or not, I have just done a club search for member "chilli red" I shouldnt even admit to this really but am piddling myself laughing for being such a doughnut.

The wife always knows

Loving this guys, and well done Funky on starting this off . Not meaning to be a killjoy but it is nice to hear of a man other than my hubby with morals that values his marriage and possibly his vital bits You other MEN need your butts smacked (but I guess youd think it a kinky sex game) :rolleyes: What has intrigued me though Funky is this Favourite Magazine ??????? Does it have a NAME or should I say have you renamed it Bridget also ????? And lastly remember, all men talk in there sleep !!!!! Have your explanation ready for when you dream of BRIDGET

Pity you're not local, would have helped out, what use it is to you. Theres got to be someone come along soon who can help.

Check his history out a bit more if possible with ebay, has he sold many cars, with similar issues. Personally it is blatantly not as described no matter how cheap. How can you trust anything he has stated re the car, cheap maybe, but it could also be a total pain in the butt, and may be only fit as scrap value. Hope this helps a bit

Yes the one and only "Toyozapt" in existence, glad you like it though thanks

You can buy my unique one of TOYOZAPT for £1000.000 only kidding, hope you do find one though. Am sure Zapt was manufactured by a company called G -Corp might help you locate one.

And part of mine is a Zapt, good luck though
