xNext big step with the rally FX is to get the wiring in. I fixed and retaped where I had pulled a wire out for starter and put the harness in rough position. A major section was encased in a ridged plastic housing that runs below the intake you can see in the picture here. The housing has two holes which must mount it somewhere. Of course none of this was used in the previous install. I think I spent the better part of an hour crawling around the engine bay trying to find where it goes. There were a couple of bolts holes that almost but not quite match. The heck?Internet to the rescue. Although it probably took the better part of another hour to finally find a good picture. What I was missing was these two support stays. Put up a wanted ad on club4ag.com but no joy. I know someone out there has these lying around, but even the Internet couldn’t bring instant results. I did find someone who sold me the OEM air intake horns though. Previous owner removed those too.
With time running short, I decided to fabricate replacements. It didn’t look too complex. Picked up some angle iron, and the LED T8 fluorescent lamp replacement just so happened to come in a long square box that was perfect for making a mock up.
This was what I came up with. A bunch of work with the angle grinder, drill and vise and this is what I came up with. Had to wrap it up for this day.
