Eliminating the Electrical Box and Wiring, under the passenger seat in a '75 Options

[euro911]

I'd like to eliminate the electrical relay box and associated wiring that's under the passenger seat. Most of the connections look pretty bad and a PO did bypass some of the connections.

I'm never going to restore this car back to stock '75 specs. I think this it's just something that's eventually going to go wrong.

Has anyone else eliminated this stuff? ... and how did you do it?

There are two things under the seat. The Dreaded Seatbelt Interlock Relay, and the door buzzer. The only wires going to either that affect anything else are the big fat yellow or yellow/red wires that go to the starter. Splice those together, and unplug the relay and buzzer, and the whole little panel is a nothing.

If you want, you can cut all of those wires. Make sure to connect together all of the ones that were crimped into a single connector, though. That is, if two wires were crimped into a single metal connector, connect them together. There should be a few of those.

I do not recommend cutting anything--I'm in Jeff's camp on this one. Cutting is a very difficult operation to reverse.... But it is your car in the end.
