ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
Radio installation
The most suitable position for installation of the radio
receiver is in the space provided for this purpose in the
instrument panel. The door in the panel must then be
removed.
The installation is prepared in that cables are drawn to
the door in the instrument panel.
The most suitable position for installation of the loud-
speaker is under the grille located above the instrument
panel.
Location of antenna
When fitting the antenna, proceed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Suppression of radio interference
The engine is supplied with a suppressed rotor and sup-
pressed spark plug terminals and consequently no addi-
tional resistances need be fitted on HT wires at the igni-
tion coil and distributor. The use of extra shielding in the
ignition cables has an adverse effect on the spark at the
plugs, resulting in reduced engine output.
Extra lights
Provisions are made for the installation of extra lights in
that cables are fitted as far as the two jointing pieces
mounted one on each side of the radiator. A switch is
fitted in the instrument panel.
The most suitable position for installation of the head-
lamps is in the space provided for this purpose behind the
grille.
The extra lights can be switched on only when the head-
lamps are on high beam, but they can also be used for
"flashing" with the dimrner switch if the headlamps are
dipped and the switch for the extra lights is switched on.
Electrical accessories
General
All electrical accessories must be properly fused off and
connected to the ignition lock or to the fuse block.
It should nevertheless be borne in mind that the loading
on the ignition lock may not exceed that of the standard
equipment by more than 10 A.
The wiring for the electrical accessories should be so di-
mensioned as to ensure the least possible voltage drop.
As a general rule, the following applies:
Current consumption less than 8 A (96 W): use a wire
with a cross-sectional area of 0.002 in. (1.5 mm).
Current consumption more than 8 A (96 W): use a wire
with a cross-sectional area of 0.003 in. (2.5 mm).
For all connections and splices made when installing
electrical accessories, use AMP crimped terminals.
