Fuse box location, fuse schematic and engine cover tool help: 1981 R5 Turbo (series 1)

Hello!

I have a few questions regarding my 1981 R5 Turbo (S1).

1.) Does anyone know the location of the fuse block?
2.) Does anyone have a schematic of the fuse block?
3.) Does anyone have the engine cover latch tool?

Thank you,
Rick

Welcome to TR @10sbums , great looking machine you’ve got there!!

Paging @Moggy for the answers..

@Moggy maybe @sparkie and - i’ve forgotten his forum username but brings the Red T2 and the white 21T powered T2 to Retro Rides?

Latch tool for the engine cover is a 6 or 7 Mmmm Allen key, with a handle. Originals are out there but I can’t say I’ve seen one for years.

Fuse box is under the steering wheel. When the fuses blow, you burn your legs.
I’m sure they are same as a gordini turbo.

Thank you, @Moggy.

Do you have any idea where I can get both a fuse block diagram and a wiring schematic?

Thank you, @Big Steve - Raider! Been wanting one of these since 1985 when I was a child and saw one down the street from my school. Finally in a financial position and able to find “the one”.

Thank you, @DaveL485!

Hi the turbo one fuse board is under the steering wheel as said above and is only used by that model

Thank you, @gordini stu!

Do you by some chance know where I can get a fuse block and wiring schematics?

I may have it , it’s in German though, face book groups are good for this type of thing , there’s a guy called Mark Wicks aka Maximan on here I think . Keith is the guy @DaveL485 is thinking of all his stuff is turbo 2 based and is different ,
The fuse board is quite fragile especially as it is getting old , But I think has been re manufactured in France with blade fuses which is a big improvement ,

Thank you again, @gordini stu.

Anything helps, even if it’s in German. I will look to see where I can find Mark Wicks.

I will also check with 3S to see if they have the updated fuse board.

Shouldn’t be too hard to find with that face! :smiley:

Haven’t seen him for a while we could be brothers
