Looking great. Apart from the seats uve done every mod I fancy doing lol Not overly keen on the orange but each to their own

Like the seats but the welding looks a bit sh*t, You sure they are safe.

[rokit]

Can you give me a bit advice, how do I connect the wire from pin 12 for the electric mirrors to the fuse box? Which wire is it from the back of the fuse box?
Cheers!

seat are from a Mondeo mk2 ghia - both are heated seats & drivers seat is elec

The welding is inside & out of the 1/4" thick steel pillars on the front mounts & then ground down (with angle grinder) Yes they are safe, Even took a sledge hammer to them just to make sure

The rear mounts are just 1/4" thick steel plate so no welding needing there & seats bolted down with high tensile steel bolts.

Here is the wiring diagram



You will need a wire of suitable ampage to run from pin 12 to fuse panel.This needs to be connected the to orange/yellow wire on connector C15 for fuse F47 (5 amp)

Use a multimeter to check continuity between fuse F47 & the Orange/yellow wire (make sure multimeter is on the ohms seting & ignition turned off) if you have the correct wire the reading should be zero (0000)

Connect mirror 12V+ wire from pin 12 to it.

Briliant job what year is the front bumper and is it sreight forward fitting it also what do you use your van for cheers.

The front bumber is brand new, its fitted to mk2 connects from 2006 - 2009.

As you can see it also fits the early mk1 as well, It just bolts straight on no problem. If planning to fit the mk2 bumper you will also need to replace both front plastic wheel arch trims as well (again just fits straight on)
