Talking No Problems Looming

Today I spent threading the ends of my 'new' rear loom through the relevant holes in the body, loosely folding over the retaining 'P' clips and connecting the earth spades. Once everything was to my satisfaction I tightly folded the clips to immobilise the cable runs. I also drilled a hole in the rear bulkhead, threaded the forward section through and secured it to the inside of the body with more riveted on ally clips. I taped or coiled the external cables out of the way, awaiting the long distant day when they'll carry current in anger. Very last job was to perform a final continuity test which proved positive all round



I routed the driver's side 'over the top' on the 'great circle' principle.



The spider-like earth matrix will be concealed by the battery; the hole to the outside will eventually be blanked off with an ally plate.



Primitive, but effective. The rivets are in a straight line parallel with the ground when viewed from outside.



Not sure how I got the reversing lamp wiring quite so overlong, but better that than too short

Regards, Mick
