I am aware, as there is literally nothing that draws power with the ignition off and I have fitted electronic ignition it's highly unlikely to cause any shorts but thank you for your input.
The reason for earth first (when removing) and last (when refitting), is incase you touch something metal with the spanner when tightening. I think lead acid batteries give of hydrogen gas, which is explosive. Probably the reason why they tell you to connect the last jump lead 18 inch away from battery.
Fair point. As it happens, I replaced both the inner and the outer sills with thick gauge steel when I fully restored the car, I also added box section and bracing internally so they are far stronger than factory issue
@@williamwilliamsa30 That's fair comment, it is commonly known & suggested in the owners club not to use the original jacking points & to use something much stronger but if you have heavily strenthened yours up that's fair enough
Can't help but feel you have rather missed the point...also failed to read the description for the video, allow me to enlighten you! I couldn't 'hit the road ' as at present the car has no insurance. Also, when you fully restore a car as I have done, you seldom turn the key and drive off into the sun set... Wether it be two feet or twenty meters, a first drive is a victory. Don't play down someone else's achievements and effort because it doesn't look exciting to you...to me, just seeing that car outside and running was the best thing in the world. Thanks for playing.
