Power outlets
« on: November 19, 2011, 11:38:26 PM »
I'm always looking for new things to do to Pepe.  I was thinking of adding a couple of new power outlets/sockets so I don't have cables all over.  I found the following unit on Amazon, and would mount it on the floor between the front seats, but moved back a little.  I would probably run a wire from the fuse box, under the door sill molding, and then under the front seat to get there.

1981 Kammback 258 - "Pepe"
1980 Coupe 258 - "Ginger
1972 Gremlin X 304
1978 Gremlin 4 cyl 121 - sold
1964 TBird 390 - sold

I'm hard wiring in 110vac outlets but they are only 85 watt (enough for laptops or cell phone charger)
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

I have one on a switch to the battery, and the other on a relay triggered from the ignition. Sometimes you want your phone to charge while you're running errands. Plus using a relay means that you're not going to overload the ignition switch.
