Or you could just strip back the donor loom for reuse it which is what I am doing, if you have a haynes manual for the car with it's wiring diagrams it's a fairly simple process and one that needs doing if your going to keep the engine loom for a ECU based engine. What's your donor?

I take my hat off to anyone who makes their own loom,

I hate electrickery , so even tho I had a full donor car I opted to buy a pre made loom from Premier wiring, for the price of it( £100 xmas special on ebay) & the headaches it saved me & not needing to buy wire, connectors, fuse box etc thought it was money well spent , Alan at Premier is very helpful & will even create a loom to your requirements if you tell him what you need etc.

Oooh the sheer thought of making a loom sends shivers down my back


cheers
andy
