Coil Pack rewiring:

Since we can no longer use the coil in the default position we need to move it and extend some wiring. It might seem like a daunting task but its not, you will only need to extend and resolder 6 wires.

Start by undoing the cord that goes to the coil. A small socket i think 7mm is needed to remove the coil from the wiring.



Once removed you will need to remove the old tape used to hold the plastic wire shield together. Strip the tape and wire shield back down past the chargers triangular bracket. Pull the wiring out and undo any more tape.



You will now be able to easily identify the 6 coil pack wires that lead towards the battery. Snip each of the wires making sure you have enough room around the wires to manouver wire strippers/stanley knife and soldering iron. Now we need to go back the opposite way of the coil pack leads. Repeat the steps of undoing the tape and shielding, pull the wires out heading back towards the right hand strut tower. NOTE: Be careful of a few earth wires that branch off from the loom. Grab your purchased wire and run lengths from your 6 cut wires towards the strut tower, try keeping the wire length as close as possible to lengths needed. Strip the wire ends twist and solder. If you solder one wire at a time its easier to keep up with which goes to which if your purchased wire is all one color.



Tape the joins and heatshrink if you want extra protection.



When all wires are resoldered grab your coil to mount in its new home on the tyre well wall. I found the fastest hassle free way to mark out the holes to drill is grab either some paint or gasket glue. Put a dab on each of the three bolts and press against the tyre well wall. Hopefully if you pushed it on evenly it will have left 3 perfect marks ready for drilling. Drill the holes. Because of how high i mounted mine i needed to put the single top bolt in first and then the bottom 2 bolts and manouver it down slowly. Bolt the coil pack down through the tyre well wall.



Now the coil pack is in place you can tape up the wiring and put the wire protector plastic back on, tape from the triangular bracket back to the coil plugs base wires, then from the coil packs plug down to the base so you can loop and tape any spare wire back into the loom. As before when tapeing take caution of the earth wires. Connect your 3 longer leads to the pack and to your spark plugs in the proper order and there done.



Will add a couple extra parts in the next few days.
