You will need the following tools:
Tool | Remarks |
---|---|
Phillips and flat head screwdrivers | |
Wire stripping and crimping tool | A sharp hobby knife will do, but just to install the black boxes, you need to strip almost 50, half in the confined space of the engine bay. To save a lot of hassle, simply get a good stripping and crimping tool. If you do use a knife, at least be careful! |
Wire cutters | |
Needle nose and regular pliers | |
Drill with 5/16" and 5/32" bits | The drill bit size will depend on the switch you are installing |
Fine sandpaper | |
A sharp hobby or utility knife |
I also used a rotary (dremel type) tool for modifications to the case. A sharp knife should do OK though. A 12 volt tester or multimeter is very handy if any difficulties arise. So is a flashlight, especially when ducting the wires through the firewall. And scissors, of course.
