Wow, great stuff mate!

Which alt do you have? - anyway they are basically all the same - the later ones have a b+ for the charge light and a w for tach signal on some cars. both are pretty safe i.e if you wire up the w to the charge light you wont cause any problems. You wont need the w terminal cos you'll get tach signal from the ignition.

So basically all you need is to connect the big terminal to the battery +, earth the alt body well and one of the little plugs goes to the charge light circuit on the dash.

Thanks gldgti, makes sense to me now i wired it up a couple years ago just needed my memory refreshed Ive basically binned the stock wiring loom and opted for a universal hotrod wiring loom and fuse box less complicated Ill post pix as i start the wiring in the mean time fitted the front brakes.

Had to bump.

Super clean man. Gives me motivation to pull everything out and do it again.

What brakes are your running and do you have any pics of the wire tuck?

[revnit]

They are vr6 calipers on floating rotors same size as vr6, not sure what you mean wire tuck ?

Just recently i saw my old beige gld forsale i was like man i want it back, this pretty much put me back in the market for a 2nd mk1 again. Funnily enough i found a gem!!!! Firstly she is a one owner with 92000kms on the clock with the original service book filled out and stamped!!! has every single receipt from 1977 till now documented even the original purchase receipt. Factory fitted air conditioning to boot she is a very tidy machine i didn't think id pick one up so clean not needing work .

Looks to be a nice unit Andrew.

Unfortunately the aircon is a dealer fitted item, VW never marketed any of the Mk1 bodied vehicles with factory RH aircon set up. The airbox for the factory aircon unit impedes the left leg position if used for RHD vehicles.

Even our 93 cabrio ( rhd) had some locally made garbage they tried to pass of as airconditioning !! prob runs at about 15% efficiency.

When is the 16V going to be up and running ??
