Wiring Loom Tasmin 280

[MADNESS]

Having looked at the wiring on my FHC 280 s1, I think the best thing for it will be to have a new loom made for it, has anyone had their car done and can a advise someone who can install new wiring?
I'm in Suffolk.
Cheers

You could buy all of the materials from VWP and make your own, it's not difficult.

Take the old loom off, pin it to an 8x4 foot sheet of ply or similar and use as a template.
You may find the odd obsolete connector but there are modern replacements.

Last time I looked, Radiospares still do 1/4 inch spade connectors and insulators which will fit all the relays etc...
and I think they have spade type multi-way connectors too. Not pins like originals but correct period style.

What I used to do for kit cars was to get a loom (or two) from a scrappers, for the colour coded wires, and then re-use to make a new loom with correct colours, and often you can reuse the connectors too.

Thanks for the advise guys, all taken in, however, I don't really have the time to do it myself right now so would like to get someone do it for me, once that's done then I can get the rest of it sorted :-)

You could try these guys - they don't list it but might be worth giving the a call

Hand making a one off loom is not going to be cheap, it's not "rocket science" but it is time consuming.


another option may be to use a generic loom and have it "tweaked" to suit your car?
