DaveN Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just for something to do I'm going to fit a fuel pump relay in the boot. Fortunately when I trimmed the car I'd run some sleeving in and put a draw wire in. The question is though where do I pick up the live feed from? The positive lead has all the spare spade terminals used. So that leaves the back of the starter motor but to me that seems a bit untidy. Is there a positive lead available with more (large size) spade terminals fitted or will I have to go for one of those fancy battery terminals with the extra connections?

aardvark Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I took mine from straight from the battery. Incidentally I put the relay in the passengers footwell near to the indicator relay. Cheers Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Consider adding a 150640 from a pre '73 TR6. Just needs a short bit of heavy cable with a 9.5 Lucar female at each end to connect to your battery cable connector. http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/product_display.asp?ProductID=150640 Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks Peter that looks a nice tidy solution! Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Where should the impact/inertia switch (or tachometric relay: see http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/56389-tachymetric-relay-modern-substitute-for-an-impact-switch/)go? In the always live, direct battery cable to the pump, or in the control wire from the ignition to the pump relay? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) John A tachometric relay has both! A permanent feed from the battery and a switched live. So I suppose it would all be down to where the best location is. Edited April 18, 2016 by daven Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clarkey Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Daven Im not keen on the relay in the boot area due to the petrol tank being there (This has been covered a few times), I rewired the fuel pump and sited the relay in the engine compartment, i also installed a second relay beside it just incase it ever failed.
