Re: Wiring redesign - a good idea?

Andy, go for it.
The original wiring design can be improved in numerous ways. Statistically the number of Elans that have been damaged / written off by wiring electrical faults warrants the changes IMHO.
The key is to document what you are doing. (Ie produce circuit diagrams for lighting, ignition, charging, instrument panels, etc). That way it can be manageable to produce rather than trying to squeeze it on one sheet of paper. Stick to black for earths. Keep the heavy current out of the dashboard.... Understand how to make relays work reliably...
