Long time and no posts. Sorry. I've been building a house and it is about a month away from completion so that's been taking up most of my time. I have done a few more electrical things. The brake lights weren't working and so I found that the switch that the brake pedal arm is suppose to depress needed to be moved closer to the pedal arm so that better contact and button compression was made. I also found some weather pack connections not all the way in and making contact. I've also learned to check fuses. (A fuse being blown kept some lights from coming on.) Lastly, there was also a poor connection in the brown plug from the main wiring harness to the front wiring harness. I thought about permanently connecting those wires with a butt connector but someone told me that it might be useful to disconnect those for future body work.
Today I put a nice battery cable clamp on the positive cable. This fits the battery post well and has a nut to loosen for easy removal. Previously there was an ill-fitting ring that was crimped to a cable with a shutoff switch someone gave me. The shutoff switch is nice but that terminal ring wasn't. Here's the new setup:
The negative terminal already had a nice connector with the grounding strap that goes to the frame. I taped up the steel bar that holds the battery in the battery box in case one were to accidentally make contact there using a wrench to loosen the clamp nut.
