412 / Beaufighter wiring & wiring diagram

[412usa]

James,

I have a factory wiring diagram (original blueprint) for the 412USA but it
may have difference to the Beaufighter and I wouldn't want to lead you
astray with, perhaps devastating consequences.

I suggest you ask the factory for help.

Have we missed something?

Not that I know of.

However perhaps the "injured" member is unaware that most of those PDF wiring diagram drawings belong to me. They were placed on the BOC site as being probably the easiest place for someone with a serious need to find them. Especially as I have no intention of getting involved in web-site creation, maintenance or any of the other time eating chores beloved of the internet generation.

So far as I'm concerned anyone with a Bristol of suitable type and vintage can use them on the understanding that any errors found or factory installed differences are reported back to me so that I can make relevant changes or add appropriate notes to my master copies. Its worrying that I've never had any reports back of errors or differences. Allegedly I am (was) fairly good at that sort of thing but anyone with drawing office or design experience knows how darn near impossible it is to check your own work. It would also be nice to have the colours for 680040, ..43, ..45, ..92.

Be even nicer to finally get my life back on track enough to dig my 603 out from under the cover and get back to work on it again. Maybe I can at least hope to unwrap those lengths of stainless steel to make some wheel-nuts early next year.

For your efforts in posting the diagrams on the BOC site.

I have downloaded some of them, and am grateful for their content and your providing them. I do not have any corrections to offer.

I also appreciate your clarification on the ownership of the drawings.

Best wishes,

Lou B.

Nice to hear from you Clive, it's been a long time.

If you wish to make your wiring diagrams available to all Bristol owners, rather than only those who are current members of the UK owners club, I would welcome the opportunity to host them in the Resources section of this site.

You could upload them yourself, or email documents to webmaster-at-bristolcars.info and I will upload them.

Regards,
Kevin

On the subject of wiring diagrams, does any-one have a diagram which shows
how to wire in the ignition warning light when there is a seperate voltage
contol unit as in the Chrysler set up?

I just discovered that I have a set of wiring diagrams for the 411. This is likely to be of some use for the 412.

I have uploaded all 13 pages as one PDF file in the resources section under 8cyl cars - 411.

James - I noticed that the rear screen heater is controlled by a relay, which is enabled by the ignition switch, so there's something strange going on if the engine stops when you turn it on!

David, it shows the ignition wiring and Chrysler components but there's no ignition warning lamp that I could see.
