Connecting the Wire Loom on the Bulk Head

Previously I installed a 9 wire electrical loom from the engine compartment to the front of the bus. I also installed a bulk head for electrical components like the Terminal Block for the wire loom.

Today I mounted the terminal block on the front of the electrical bulk head. 

Because I wanted to take up little room on the front AND I like using grommets, I drilled a hole in the bulk head and installed a grommet.


Here's the wires pulled through:


Now, the thing I should have done when starting this whole project was to label the wires first. That way, when I have 'em at either end of the bus I wouldn't have to try and figure them out. BUT, I didn't. So, I had to use my meter to figure out which wire was which. Basically I have a long wire with alligator clips at either end to test the continuity.


Even though I had mounted it already, I undid that and mounted the wires on the block. also was easier to tuck them away. In retrospect, I probably should have put the hole and grommet a little further away.


Here's the final mounted Terminal Block.


I plan to use this for an auxiliary reverse light and a couple gauges I need to install. Those will be in upcoming posts.
