Thread: Just wired in the Engel---> Now with pics

Just had a fun couple of hours wiring in the Engel. Could not believe the cost of the bloody Engel plug!!! $50 for the screw on type. Unreal!! Cost me almost more for the plug than for all of the electrical stuff that I needed to make it happen. Anyway, she runs and runs sweet, so that is all that matters. Ran 25A cable from the deep cycle battery to the back of the disco and then soldered the plug and away she went.

Das is true... but at least this wont come undone on corrugations... and I was in a hurry to get it wired by tomorrow... going to the beach and stuff. Most of the wiring is running in its own "conduit" under the kick panel (the black strip on the bottom of the floor) on the doors. I need to tidy up the wiring in the engine bay (previous owner) and then I only have 40cm or so out the back to cover.
