Most importantly, all components and devices described in this book are readily available; readers can be confident of obtaining all the parts and equipment from Maplin either through their catalogue or their network of high street stores.

For students new to the subject, this book will help to develop this knowledge, but will also assist experienced mechanics in keeping up with recent technological advances.

When it’s time to wire your car, whether it’s a restoration project, race car, kit car, trailer, or street rod, don’t be intimidated; wire it yourself.
