Thats an excellent write up of how to go about it, Enoch. Makes me feel like I would be able to do it, but I've already asked Alan at Premier to make me up a loom. It will free me up some time to work on other parts of the build and hopefully make for a nice easy installation.

I've also been persuaded by a few friends that have popped over to see the build to buy a digidash (I had planned to use the standard Sierra dials), so I'll need to wire that in and make up the loom for megajolt and associated sensors, so still a bit of wiring to get my head around!

One of the things that was putting me off was the number of different colour wires to buy, seemed like a mine field, until I read a guide that suggested only using black wire, and use bands of coloured shrink wrap at each end for identification.

Cheers

Hm, I tore apart the donor loom and ended up with lots of different colored wires to make my new one.

That was the other idea but 25+ year old wires are already broken down an amount, often I strip wires and there is black oxide layers on the copper.

Bit the bullet and got the Tiger one,not as expensive as others and good quality,service was good too next day delivered and as they use Sierra bits it wont take a lot to sort.
