Neatly joining all the power wires
Turbo Mini Forums

Just wondering, im getting neater at my wiring and just redone my dashboard even neater, but the only scruffy part is when i join all the positive wires together, ive just soldered them all together into a clump and it just looks a mess. Is there a neat way to doing it?

I don't really know what your wiring is like i.e. what have you got a clump of +ve wires together.

Generally you would have a +ve busbar with a load of fuses on it, with, say, a maximum of 2 wires per fuse.

Again difficult to give advice withot seeing what you are wiring, but if you are feeding lots of things off one wire then I tend to to just do a multidrop arrangement. I.e. take it to the first consumer, then to the next, then to the next, in, out, in, out, etc.

Failing that you can get an insulated stud. This screws to the car somwhere and then you join all the wires together with ring crimps onto the stud. Is that understandable?
