Important: Cover up every surface, which you do not spray paint! I had plenty of old sun-shade, as that stuff does not last for 5 minutes for it's supposed purpose...

My gun came with all those parts, but without manual - and initially I taught they are just identical spare-parts, but no: They are 3 sets of each 3 parts (do not mix up) for a 1.3, 1.7 and 2mm nozzle.

The green regulator knob on the bottom of the gun always remains fully open. Adjust the regulator know to about 25 psi. And use an air filter, plus before spraying, purge the oily water in your air-compressor.

Use a spray gun with the reservoir on top (not below). Press handle and adjust fluid control to wide open (point, where you hit the pressed handle), then another turn clockwise. Fan control: Probably 1 or 2 turns clockwise from wide open (test on cardboard before spraying car). I got myself a bag of 250 seals for the inner spray nozzle - use each time a new seal.

Most two pin connectors would probably do. Those here come in a lot of 20 pieces (Aliexpress), but you can also find smaller quantities. As you can see, the connectors come in the shape of a puzzle (see box in background). I used those connectors.

I added extra cable splice-offs off the crocodile clamps and one end of that connector goes to the end of the cables. Note that you have to ensure that the crocodile clamps are fixated when you use the connector end instead to ensure that those to not touch (fire danger!) I always clamp them onto the fat outgoing cable of the charger. This is my 15A CTEK charger. And I have to correct myself: my other CTEK has just 5A, not 7A, so 5A is still just OK for Jaguar batteries, but 7A would be better.

These are the fuse holders (on Aliexpress). I went for the holders for the bigger blades (Medium), and you have to select the cable size of that holder: 12, 14 or 16 AWG: The bigger that number, the smaller the x-section. 16 AWD is about 1.3mm diameter, 12 AWG about 2mm and 14 AWG about 1.6mm, and good for about up to 20 or 30A. Maybe go with 14 AWG

Those cables come out at a top corner of the carpet in the boot (trunk). They end in a connector. The opposing connector is on my CTEK battery charger (15A charger, but 7A will do).

Two massive levers - one held by the body of the car and with both hands I moved the other one a bit further from the 220Nm position, not too much - I am sure that was tight enough.

This is the special tool I welded together. Normally the bit on the bottom would be round, but I was trying to think outside of the box and ended up with a box - a square... ;) I welded two metal tubes for the bolts offset onto the square. The required torque is something ridiculous - way above what a torque wrench can measure. I think my torque wrench went to 220Nm, The required torque is something like 325Nm from memory. I did not use my working torque wrench for that (to avoid killing it), b

Note: I was fairly sure that I had not disconnected the connector from the "hood closed?"-switch... So the previous owner had pulled it. That switch, if not pressed (i.e. when bonnet open) is electrically closed, and electrically open when the bonnet is closed. Thus, when the plug is pulled, the bonnets "seems" to be closed always. Thus, with the bonnet open, and the plug pulled, the car can be locked, but with the plug connected, the car can only be locked, when the bonnet is closed...
