I mounted a secondary fuse box on the lip of the mudguard just under the bonnet near the brake booster:

Thanks Ron. Sorry to be dim, but did you source power for that rail of fuses straight from the battery, or from some clever place on the fusebox that is controlled by the ignition switch?

I am secretly hoping (with all the talk of P38s overheating), that the big heat exchanger will act as an additional small radiator when Brisbane is at its warmest

PS: I had a XJR13 too, nice bike!

Dont forget to get a set of O rings if you touch those pipes!

I did my heater core orings 4 weeks ago. They better not need replacing already!!!!

Directly from the battery via its own main fuse.

Hey, looks like this thread isn't finish. We need photos and infos about the install?

You are right. Here they are:

Thanks Glen. What brand of heat exchanger was it?

Also, still awaiting pix of your XJR1300!
