1975 Mazda REPU - Build and Repair thread

Some work on the wiring harness this week.

Ignition switch and steering column all terminated.

Tail light module for a trailer will serve as relay for brakes and turn signals. Easy to replace if it fails because I added quick release terminals. This particular model has a separate 12v power supply so I won't have high current running through steering column switch.

Additional bank of relays for low/high wipers and low/high headlights. This along with the trailer module should tuck up under the gauge cluster out of sight.

Took me a while to translate the OEM wiper relay box into a dual SPDT format I could understand.

The OEM harness had full power for headlights going through the steering column so I'm going to intercept those feeds and power the lights from a higher gauge cable.

I also added some RAAMatt BXT to the transmission hump and rear of the cab. I ordered the wrong carpet so finishing it off didn't happen.

More carpet came in today so I took a break from wiring to trim and install the rear cab carpeting. Lots of cutting and gluing. I hope the Super77 holds it in place.

I'm going to probably drill some holes for heat dissipation.

Did you source the white connectors shown in your pictures below? I've been looking for a good, non-sealed connector for my interior harnesses but it looks like there's actually thousands of options. At least more than the sealed options I know.

Your radio probably has more power than the engine.

I ordered the connectors from http://easternbeaver.com/

Shipped from Japan and it takes a few weeks for them to arrive. Not cheap either. Unless you are trying to connect to OEM components like me, I'd suggest just getting more modern style connectors from Amazon or something.

Spent some time on the seats this rainy afternoon. First shot is the old leather, second is the new Katzkin Leather kit.

I know I know. I've been gone every weekend in July. I need to get cracking on the rest of the wiring harness installation and get the dash back together and seats mounted. I would have had the seats in already but I have to drop the pre-silencer and heat shields to bolt them up.
 
Great job. Could you let me know the part number of the wiring kit you bought? Thank you!
