New wiring looms
Well a full loom wont cost that from me!!!! C'mon wires not that expensive, and once one has been made the others can be rattled off quick enough! :wink:

I'd be really interested in one. The trick will be in creating a simple to understand wiring diagram. Having recently installed a loom in my kit car, it made sense to lay out the diagram as it would lay in the car rather than the compact sort of diagrams you get in Haynes manuals.

yes thats the point, once one made rest are easier but i can hardly see going into mass production! making a loom is labour intensive and this is my business, and what i do for a living. i specilise in custom looms for show and race cars that have to be made from scratch. any loom made by me would be to original specs (colours, connectors etc) no point in me supplying them if i get comebacks because they dont fit or work.
price up a loom for a split screen camper, prices range from ?130 tio ?180 (mine) belive me i have seen others and even used one (supplied by customer) all i can say is if a wire is 1 inch too short then it might as well be three feet too short.

Hi guys, has the battle of who's making the looms been settled yet?
RACER sounds like the man i would get my loom from, no disrespect to anyone, BUT he just sounds like he's got an eye for detail, which i personally apprieciate.
SO, racer would you be able to make some mk1 gti looms?
Thanks

if i get a chance this weekend i will pull the engine bay loom out of my mk1. i will strip it and see what ive got and what i need. i will make first loom then others probably on an exchange basis (i have a feeling i will have to reuse the plastic parts of the multiplugs with new pins) i will post with progress.
ps options with new engine bay loom will include built in uprated headlamp relays if required
