Car wash, Tidy up wiring, Horn

I went and hand-washed my car this weekend. Somehow I had amassed a lot of caked mud in my wheelwells, so I scrubbed those out.

I also tidied up the wiring underneath the dash for the distribution block, boost gauge (fixed wiring for the switched power source for it). It involved a generous serving of zip-ties, kinda like how my Lotus was put together lol.

I also wanted to fix my horn issue. I thought the stock rotating wire harness would do the trick, but it doesn’t fit: it’s too thick and has a harness connector that sticks out and doesn’t work with the Momo hub. So as another temporary fix, I took about 3 feet of wire, coiled it around and mounted up the steering wheel. It works more or less, but the wire, when it unwinds, now sticks out a little where there is a gap between the hub and the steering column shroud. It’ll do for now until I can find a more elegant solution. I’m sure there are aftermarket coil wire things I can get?

I did two trips to Atlantic City; uneventful drive, which is a good thing. A/C blows ice cold I can’t keep it running because my hands feel freezing… :)
