      @dave-watson 3 дня назад

      Hi, I connected the main cables to the starter battery and I connected the ignition cable to a fuse in the fusebox which went live when the van is running. I used a thing called a piggyback fuse holder. Hope that helps.

    Hi, Dave. May I please ask where you got your insolation from ? I will be doing a van build shortly following all of your advice, so this may not be my last question. Thank you for providing all your knowledge, i find your videos extremely helpful and feel as if not much can go wrong if i stick to your techniques. I may have to keep you updated on that one 😂😂
