Next, I’ll move on to installing the turn signals.
\n\u2022 No spade terminals\u2014convert to a connector that accepts M8 nuts
\n\u2022 Since it mounts on a slanted surface, keep everything parallel and clean
\n\u2022 Keep the turn signal wiring taut and neat
\nThose are the three main points to watch.
\n 
\n
\n 
\nLeica LINO L2
\nA laser level marker is handy for positioning.
\n 
\nI made three angled spacer patterns\u201410 degrees, 13 degrees, and 15 degrees\u2014and tested them.
\nI just cut the angles with a metal saw.
\nUsing a milling machine would be tedious to chuck up each time, so\u2026
\nThe mounting surface is slanted and made of plastic, and the turn signal mounting point is rubber, so it shifts when tightened. It took three tries before I finally got it right.
\n 
\n
\n 
\nFewer people use aftermarket turn signals with two spade terminals these days.
\nYou can plug them in wrong, and compared to connectors, they’re a hassle and don’t look as good.
\nNow then!
\nThis lets the M8 nut pass through. \u2605
\nA 040 won’t fit, but a 050 will.
\nI marked the turn signal side and harness side so I don’t mix up left and right.
\n 
\nIf you run all the wiring parallel, it gets in the way,
\nso staggering them keeps things compact.
\n 
\nHellerman Tyton products I love\u2014push pins and all
\nKeeping things simple, light, and easy to service makes life easier down the road.
\nLoose bolts and lock nuts are a pain.
\n 
\nI kept it clean and simple like this.
\nI try to avoid using cable ties and zip ties as much as possible.
\n 
\n
\n 
\nIt’s temporarily fixed, but\u2026
\nKeep it as parallel as possible
\n 
\nKeep it as clean as possible
\n 
\n
\n 
\nSomehow
\n 
\nWe got it done!
\nOnce the countersunk rivets arrive tomorrow, it’ll be complete. \u2605
