ERA Build Questions Continue

[SSSammy]

Yes, Chris .. it fits so loosely that it would just fall out. Maybe it just needs a thicker O ring? Is that all that holds it? Some other Cobra owner was talking about some clips of some sort. Wish I had an ERA nearby to run look at, but I'm kinda at the end of the dusty trail here.

Tonight we are stalled .. this was turn the switch on and see what pops night. We connected the battery, turned the switch .. nothing! The solenoid is hot, the main circuit breaker is hot, the ignition switch is cold. Fuse L1, which feeds the bat term on the switch is cold. Will get back to it tomorrow night. I guess with absolutely NO power going to the switch, it shouldn't be that hard to isolate. I'm thinking about that great big red hi amp connector in the dash harness. Any ideas?

Reporting back on the clutch slave bracket issue in an earlier post .. Bob got me the spacer overnight .. we spent most of a day trying to figure out how to make it work. Finally I took a hacksaw and sawed the locating tab off of the steel bracket, ground it smooth, positioned it on the aluminum spacer so that the actuator rod was lined up and marked a line on it. Then we MIG welded the tab back on .. perfect!

By the way, I'm getting super support from ERA .. Peter is overnighting a surge tank tonight because mine is too tall. It was for a Shelby .. I thought it would work.

The major elec outage resolved down to one heavy wire going from the circuit breaker to the ammeter, then to the fuse block terminal 1L. This circuit goes through both of the high amperage connectors. In the big red connector, one of the pins was not pushed all the way into the housing, so it was not making contact. Pushed pin in .. lights, horn, etc.

Bob or anyone, regarding the sidepipe rear hangar straps .. one corner is clipped off on each strap. How do I orient this corner, up, down, inside, outside? There must be a reason for it
