tail wires complete, almost
I just need to ground the trunk harness. I left the ground wire long (the black wire curled up). I also dont have a fuel cell yet, the bright wires
hanging in the center will go to that, and one of those goes to the 3rd brake light, which I avnt figured out where it goes yet either...
Before the car is done I am going to go back and loom the whole harness to protect the wires from chaffing.
 
rear lights wired up

Don't forget the license plate wiring, which is connected to the same circuit as the tail lights m8... can't see any  Are those lights
less than 400mm from the other edge - do the same rules apply for USA SVA as our UK SVA?

No not even close, SVA is of no concern here, each state regulates their own type of SVA, which is quite easy to get around...
I have another curled up wire hidden from view (behind the ali pannel) for the plate light and ground, I plan to mount the plate on the right side
rear arch, which I havn't fitted yet.

Does your se7en have negative or positive ground Derf? I've heard most American Car's have Positive Earth is this still the case?
I'm only asking cos I'm nosey!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but my chassis is -Neg. As far as the chassis being +Pos, thats just a stupid way of doing things,
I've never heard of a chassis being +Pos, every time you touch the ground and the car, or something touches the car it would be grounded, and
most likely overload the battery and make it explode. I can just picture the fire resulting from that....
My chassis hooks to the -Neg side of the battery....

For information only.
Positive chassis/ground cars were commonplace in the 50's and 60's.
I believe the manufacturers switched to Negative chassis to try to reduce the corrosion problems caused by electrolosis...
I'm waiting to be shot down....
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

no thats not true...
Wy should something what hits the ground take power from the battery?
Rule one for electrics, there must be an circuit between the 2 poles...
Sow your battery wouldn't explode...

+ earth
was used on cars fitted with dynamos ( magneto to U.S. residents) I don't know of any alternators using anything but - earth.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
