Cal Spyder Electrics
Before I took a week off for a vacation with my family, I worked a
little bit on the Cal Spyder at François' shop. The gauges were
installed and the connected to the wiring harness. It took a lot of
"eyeballing" to make sure everything was level and lined up. The last
thing you wanted was a cockeyed gauge for the owner to look at!
After the gauges were installed, I checked and double checked the
connections to the wiring harness. The wiring was remanufactured during
a previous restoration, but not all of it followed the original wiring
schematic, so I had to make sure nothing was connected incorrectly.
After a certain point, there was nothing left but to cross my fingers
and connect the battery. I'm happy to report there was no smoke, and
besides a few bad grounds for the turn signals, all the circuits I
connected worked.
Spring Party Update:
I will post the request on the main page, but If you'd like to bring
something to the party, bring a dessert like the last party. Michael
Bayer had generously offered to provide the food for the party on May
3rd, but I think it would be great to supplement the food with some
local desserts. Thanks! Are you getting excited about the party? I know
I am!
Just a reminder, I'm looking for a
new Vintage Ferrari Project. If you have, or know of a restoration
project, please let me know. It would be great to restore another car
on this website! My E-mail.
