My Favourite Subject- The Wiring Loom

[Nigel Foster]

As per the Header this is now my favourite and frustrating Subject Does anyone have any idea where the bulk of the Middle loom goes through the Bulkhead to join with the main engine loom I'm gonna drill soon and i just really want the holes to be in the correct space.
DB I hope you have looked at this and could kindly send a little bit of Graphic on this
Any help form you guys out their will be appreciated
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Just done this, i brought mine through the bulk head above the drivers footwell, just behind the clutch master cylinder, and near enough inline with the bonnet opening.

Hope That helps,

Russ

I Would attach a pic but havn't got a clue how to do it on this new site.

I run the engine bay loom through the bulkhead just like Daxman and then join it to the cockpit loom over the top of the transmission tunnel.
The relays I secure roughly to the centre of the scuttle hoop in th cockpit. Don't worry about them being plugged in from the top, they do not fall out and infact they are more likely to disintegrate if you try to pull them out.
The fuse box I mount above and left of the relays through the bulkhead so that the fuses are reached from the engine bay.

Nigel,

I brought mine in above the drivers foot well close to the corner then ran it along the top of the scuttlehoop. I secured it with P-clips. Doing this will allow you to position the fuse box and relay switches above the gearbox tunnel cover from the inside. You should be able to reach all required places from this position when you install the interior loom. The rear loom can continue to run across and down the passenger side of the scuttle hoop, acroos the floor tight against the corner and through into the boot area. I choose to drill a hole higher up and enter the boot close to the top. Just as you come through the boot you will branch off the main rear loom with the electrics for the fuel pump and the speedometer connections that go to the gear box. Then just allow the main rear loom to follow the contour of the boot to pick up the nearside lighs, fuel gauge sender unit and offside

I've put some pics in my gallery for you to look at.
