Yes I can successfully engineer virtually anything but I have electrics dyslexia, nothing seems to make any sense to me, so I need some please please chaps!

My box saloon was negative earth, If I remember correctly, I’m re-wiring with a Ruby loom and Ruby cut out, but should I go positive earth as per the wiring diagram or will things like the ammeter and petrol gauge go backwards?

I know it sounds silly, but should I also “spark” the dynamo to ensure it charges correctly?

Thanks for your help fellas, now I will try and work out why I have more wires going into the cut out than on the wiring diagram!
