    spotted something while replacing the battery.

    While fitting a new battery today, i noticed a section of loom that goes under the rear floor was tight and rubbing on the metal frame. It had worn through the black outer wrap and was wearing into some of the wires insulation. Luckily not through yet but it was just a matter of time. I have attached a couple
    of pictures, i have re wrapped and slightly moved mine now, but it is worth you guys just checking. Hopefully it will prevent some future problems.

    That's a very good spot Squizzel...I'll check that on the Bling Barge for potential issues Thumbs Up

    Edit:

    Had a look at that part of the rear loom on the Bling Barge this afternoon and there was indeed some signs of chafing. I reinsulated the cable bundle and glued a small section of high density foam padding to the inside of the metal frame where it had been rubbing to prevent any recurrence.

    Once again, great spot Squizzel. Thank you Mr. Green

    No problem, i would guess that would have been a nightmare short to find, if it had gone through. Glad you have sorted it.
