Got the escort and these two must say the orange one is a hoot!

This bit I’m not sure about having only meddled with the x flow.

The Rs one. Yeah it was definitely the sound of silence 😂

I contacted a well known auto wiring loom specialist. I said I’d like a loom for my 68/69 mk1 escort he went (sucks through teeth) “oh that’s an early one is it a twink? I said no mate just a bitsa from Malta. He sounded disappointed, by his hmm. I then said what would be utterly ideal would be to use the original square plugs but essentially it be Rs 2000 minus hazard lights or reverse lights. I swear I heard the cogs turning and he seemed genuinely confused. I said ok how about if you just extend the wiring of a 1300 loom for the starter etc. as things are the other side of the bay with a pinto. more silence followed I thought he had hung up! Then the silence was broken and he then hit me with a four figure sum as my requirements were custom. so my car has ground to a halt while I save and or find an early loom. Im colour blind and rotten with wiring so I dare not touch the original loom it’s buggered up enough without me meddling with it 😂😂😂

An early mk1 escort RHD square plug wiring loom that’s not butchered, broken or ridiculously expensive because it seems the twin cam brigade have snaffled them up? Or that maybe hype used by a certain auto wiring company to justify prices 😂 Laugh is I want to butcher it to run a pinto 😂

Welcome 👍

makes for an interesting read.

As above folks I'm looking for a complete mk1 rs 2000 wiring loom.

I do hope so. Ive 3 looms on the garage floor and trying to cobble one decent one out of the 3. Miss driving the old girl and thats what spurs me on.

Col my wiring skills are litrally nil and by my own admission im thick! Theres alot goes right over my head. Wiring is one of them things. But i give things a go! Not always succesfully.

Glad i seen this was about to part with £1800 for a bespoke loom from Autosparks. It was basically an early Mk1 escort GT loom modded to run pinto.

As an Escort owner I cringe at them prices. There good but not worth that. Value wasnt why i bought mine. Mine was bought beacuse it was noisy and fast and looked good to me. Value wasnt even a factor.
