Updated Schematics

Collection of current wiring diagrams (more or less)… not really of interest to anyone but me, probably, but there in one place now… The VP-X manages most of the electrical loads, I have direct to breakers for the ignition (didn’t want to trust that to software) and the alternators (they need “real” breakers to trip […]
