Anyone else making their own loom?
Im not too bad with the old electrickery, so fancey making my own loom, although I have hit a little hurdle, what should I use as a distribution block?
Im guessing that I should have 2 of them aswell, one for permanent live, and the other as a switched live? Any help, always appriciated! Jas

Just use two 4 or 6 way fuse boxes to distribute the leccy. Feed one from the battery, the other from the ignition switch. Cheers Adrian

i put a crimp on the big thick live cable then soldered several small cables together and put them in the other side of the crimp then put heat shrink over it. i then run the smaller cables to individual fuses on the fuse box. i also have a big master fuse on the big thick cable up near the battery. did the same for the switched ignition stuff.

If you have a look at the sierra wiring on the column you will find that there are quite a few wires from there that you can use. Most things either come from the permanent live - which i've fed through a megafuse on the bulkhead so you use rings on that to feed power to wherever you need it. Most of the remaining power comes from the main ignition relay so you can either fir all your wires into the terminals for that. Otherwise I've used inline crimp connectors as it is rare to have more than 4 wires connecting together. Hope that is some help. Cheers Dave
