Where do you plan to mount the wide band?
The radio loom is always a handy one as you have a permanant live and a ignition switched live too, also a earth. :agree:
Scotch block are ****!!. solder the connection.
Brings back memories of fitting a Moss 705 that came with scotch locks !! ;)

cigarette lighter is 12v ignition :agree:
Thanks peeps. I will go the console route instead of the engine bay. But now I need a good negative ground source. Where is the best place behind the console???
