Problem looming
 
I've decided to act on advice given to chuck the sierra loom and get a custom one made.It will be tidier ,easier and save the old girl indoors a few beatings:o

Is Premier looms which peeps have recommended the one that has just moved to Spain?
Any others recommended so I can get a couple of prices?

got a basic loom pack from svc made by rapidfit looms £165 inc vat
looks good and comes with all fuses and relays

Nothing wrong with using the Sierra loom imo.. it cuts down on costs.

I hung the thing on the garage wall in 2d fashion, stripped all the covering off, then set about tracing all the circuits back from the fuse box using the Haynes wiring diagram and a multimeter I didnt need and pulling them out.

What was left was very light (after I rearranged the fuse box and cut it in half) and had enough length to be able to trim the ends back as I fitted lights and what not.

Thanks coozer but its doing my head in:mad:

Me and electrickery just dont see eye to eye and after playing around with the old loom for weeks its driving me nuts.£150.00 ish now seems very cheap.

I set myself a target for on the road next spring -----doing fuel lines at the minute, prop shaft on its way , brakes coming along-----i might as well bite the bullet . Loom is now consigned to its original place in a heap under the workbench. :o

Thanks all;)

i was going to but there was lots of crispy insulation to wires around the engine bay and trans tunnel on my 93 sierra loom for some reason. :mad:

so for all the time and hassle plus nice neat and tidy new fuse box, relays and wires
its has to be a new loom for me
(note my rapid fit loom is all lucas colour codes)
