Front Loom

Ah, the joys of wiring!

Although the loom needs to be fitted in conjunction with the bodywork, I'm modifying it now and will make sure everything is working.

I removed all the tape covering the loom(s) then laid out onto the car. Then I gradually removed all the wires not required. For some areas like the dashboard this is a huge proportion: radio; speakers; heating controls (only the main power wire for the new heated windscreen is required); electric windows and mirrors (although my donor didn't have these, the wiring was still in place); interior lighting, etc. etc. all went:


There's much less to remove from the front. The main thing was the wiring to the pop-up headlight motors:


The wire to the power steering could go as well!


I still want to trace all the wires/relays and record them to help future modificatins/problem solving.
