DIY Wiring Loom Kit

[Superloom]

The purpose of this post is to see whether any of you will be interested in a DIY wiring loom kit. I am looking at starting doing this part time....

The kit will include:
• Front Wiring Section
• Rear Wiring Section
• Instrument Wiring Section
• Fusebox/Relay Wiring Section
• Crimp spades
• Relay Holders
• 2x 5 way fuse box

The sections will be overcut so you can trim the cable down to your individual needs. The fitting will be very simple, breaking out the required wires from the loom at a convenient point and connecting to that piece of equipment

Price for a kit will be £90 but the first five will be £80

As individual sections:

Front - £30
Rear - £30
Instruments - £20
Fusebox/Relay - £30

If any queries please either PM me or email eddie@superlooms.co.uk

Thanks

expect this is only avalable for people building to the book with ford gear?

Not necessarily, i do not provide the connectors in that kit so as long as you had your differnt ones, it would be fine. Providing offcourse the basic things that need to be wired are the same, such as full beam, indicators, instruments, fuel pump etc...

Hmm, interesting. Given the effort required to remove the donor loom this may be interesting. I have a 2.0 EFI DOHC donor. Would your loom connect to my Sierra switches and supply a switched live to my ECU? To what extent would this loom be "plug and play"? Could well be interested if it saves me pulling wires out ad nauseum. Would it have hazard flasher built in?

From that I understand that it's just wire tails. No specifics at all.



Loom can be pulled from a sierra in about 3hrs including the dash removal.

Mind, I never bother marking up as I know where everything goes anyway.

Enoch,
As seen, i do not supply supply the connectors... Purely because you can't buy new sierra connectors, so you will still need to strip your sierra loom of connectors...
It has the wires for the hazard built in and i can supply the flasher relay if needed
In regards to plug and play, You will need to lay the loom in the car and do it one wire at a time, work out where it goes... Cut it to exact length... Crimp it... Connector and attach to piece of equipment
If you have any queries, do not hesitate to email eddie@superlooms.co.uk
Am going away of the christmas period but should still be in email contact
Thanks

Cut it to exact length... Crimp it...

I would be soldering any midloom joins.

Offcourse to some of the connectors, it will be soldered...
Thanks

Crimping is considered ( I quote a leading Ford Senior electronics Guru) a better more durable method for Automotive looms.
Soldering can cause local brittle joints and be more liable to breaks and failures.

The professional crimpers are much much better than the cheap Halfords type, I have used a twin ratchet crimper to good effect.

I have occasional dealings with some fellas who maintain aircraft (things like 747's) and they all tell how they were taught to never solder a joint. Apparently still current too as the standards forbid soldered joints. Until just recently I was a big believer in soldered joints in automotive wiring.

That said, I'd rather solder than just twist the wires together, but it's no substitute for a well crimped joint. I have over the last few years purchased a fairly full set of crimpers. Money well spent IMHO.

(Hope my ramblings make some sense)
