Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an F2?

Even just the Black Box detail's & if possible the wiring of the Aircraft Switch.

Thanks

Please be aware that this diagram is wrong!

The "Main Isolator" switch MUST be on the earth circuit NOT the live as shown.

Unless you're running with an alternator it won't make any difference

What if your running a marathon?Will that be any better??

I think they changed the name to snickers didn't they?

I pointed that out when I first posted that wiring diagram up.
(I dont see as it makes much difference but it is in the rules that it should be in the earth circuit)

200+ downloads - I should have charged royalties

It does make a difference if the isolating switch is in the live or the earth line from the battery and the rules state that it should be fitted into the earth line for a good reason.

If any of the wires on the live side of the circuit touches the chassis or bodywork, or if the insulation on the live wire from the battery chafes through, there will be a potentially dangerous short circuit but the circuit can be broken by switching off the isolation switch on the earth side of the battery.

If the isolating switch was fitted on the live side of the battery and the wire from the battery to the switch made contact with the chassis or bodywork you would have no way of quickly breaking the circuit.

That's all well and good, but if the cable chafes through on the earth before the switch you cannot turn off the live, so same problem. That is why I allways fit fuses in any car I build.

Add to that, the fact FIA rules state it should be in the live (hence the need for a resistor when running with an alternator) and also on the instructions for cut off switches it states to be used in either live or neutral feeds. But as you rightly point out, the BriSCA comic does state in the earth, not live.

Considering I was an auto electrician for 6 years I would think that gives me some right to say I do know what I'm talking about
