VN Commodore is back , Fixing Wiring issues but will it start afterwards? Lets get back into it

[@lachlanwoods3940]

Nice work mate, always good to hear the 5.0 fire up again! What are those little body wiring clips you used called, would come in very handy! 👌👌

[@vautorefinishing7672]

Thanks mate, yeah i was keen to hear it again thats for sure. I just typed in wiring clips on ebay and these popped up mate they were cheap too only about $20 for the bag

[@pareperez2425]

Hey mate, love the video, I know the feeling I’m attached to my Girl as well, owned since 2014 am replacing the fuel regulator hoses have perished with time. Nothing sounds better than the VN V8 rumble. Keep up the good work mate all the way from Auckland NZ.

Another great vid brother! Little request from a sparky here: love the idea of those little cable clips, but please insulate those battery/alternator cables with plastic split tube so the clips don’t wear through to the copper and earth out to the chassis.👌😎

[@vautorefinishing7672]

Thanks Brother , appreciate the advice and i will definately take it on board and do that i didnt even think about that happening. Whats the go to stuff for doing that? Im definately going to protect the alternator wires i was just going to use conduit is that what i need to use?and i will do the rest as well thanks for the advice i appreciate it 🤙🏼

[@PageUpPerformance]

@@vautorefinishing7672 no worries at all man! Don’t want to come across like a know it all c&nt haha, just trying to help and make sure a mint VN doesn’t catch alight! Yeah any split plastic tube or braided cable sleeve will do the trick👌

[@vautorefinishing7672]

[@lachlanwoods3940]

Now to get a set or two off the old girl! 😂😂 Thanks for the tip will give it a go! 👍👍

[@brushitoff503]

Enjoying this man, Probs should consider a little more protection for your wiring especially the positive cables @12:26 (seen it earlier) that exciter wire for the Alternator appears dammaged about 300mm or so from the end, looks like exposed wires. That's as far as I got in the video so far, just wanted to say something if it helps you out. Edit; watched the rest, sounds wicked!

[@vautorefinishing7672]

Thanks mate appreciate it, i am definately going to add some protection to the wires for sure appreciate the advice mate im definately going to do that. The exciter wire does need to be replaced as well you are correct any advice definately helps out man appreciate it. It does sound pretty good for an old fivey i love it!

[@brushitoff503]

[@poydapoyderson646]

Can I ask where you found the new air tube? Mine is split.

[@vautorefinishing7672]

[@pesky49162020]

Sounds awesome fyi you have wrong battery, normally positive is where your negative is.

[@cpzmelbs]

Did you skip straight to the start up ? Lol either way its all good. Was mentioned in the vid

[@RBFR01]

Cant beat the sound of an Aussie V8. Those LS engines sound good but not my favorite v8 sound.

[@vautorefinishing7672]

Yeah im the same mate i love a good cranky ls but theres somethin else with a sound of an aussie 8
