Power leads
The power leads have rubber caps put over their ends to cover the terminals and studs. IVA requires that there are no exposed power conductors where you could create a short. The studs were removed and Vaseline was applied to the end terminals to help get the rubber caps in place and reduce the risk of corrosion, and hence a bad connection. This was done for the live and earth in the battery compartment and for the power take off studs in the engine compartment. It was a fiddly and time consuming job, but it has to be done! Tip: If you have to do this try warming up the boots and apply Vaseline to the studs to help the boots slip in to place.

The fuel pump requires power. This achieved be using the thick red cable from the loom that has a ring terminal at it's end. Another hole needs drilling in the passenger footwell/bulkhead. A grommet was fitted, after thinning the GRP a little. This cable was then run through to the battery compartment and connected to the live feed from the battery.
