New / Refurbed wiring looms

[GAV1N]

Hello all,

 

I hope its ok to post this here.

 

My names Gavin, im a member of www.rs2000-16v.com.

 

Ive been making up replacement/refurbished coil pack wiring looms for the rs2000 16v as its a common weak point.

 

Anyways, getting on to the point of the post!!

 

Im lookin g to expand the range of looms i do and was wondering if there are any looms on classic fords that are not available anymore (i assume all of them!!) that give you problems.

 

As long as i have a pattern or spec to work from i can pretty much make up anything, all looms are covered in woven braid with soldered and crimped terminals along with new plugs and rubber boots etc etc:

 

 

The only things i cant get are specific ford loom plugs, which i re-use from the old looms i currently do.

 

I can make up custom looms to a spec, or just copy an origional one.

 

If anyone wants any more info etc please e- mail me at gcdent@sky.com thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

 

I could do with a new loom on my van, with the wiring for the megasquirt ECU and Zetec engine integrated more 'professionally'.

 

Is wiring your business or just a hobby?

I haven't put much on here as yet but i've done a few looms for differant peeps the last one i converted to alternator, wired in electronic ignition & electric kenlow fan so it looked like a standard fitment

 

 

I also gave the inside loom a spruce up and wired in extra guages & a rev counter on a multiplug to make fitment easier in the centre console

 

 

The car was suppose to be at classic ford, where i was going to take pics to show the finished fitted loom, but prop problems and a few parts needed has made that impossible for this year

Wiring looms isnt my job, its just a hobby. But id like to go in to making uprated replacement looms as a business

 

Im a mechanical electrical engineer by trade.

 

So far ive done the looms for the rs2k boys, ive rewired a few cars, and my own car, a 96 escort rs2000 running throttle boddies and an emerald ecu, Including bypassing the pats immobiliser.

 

All the looms i make are covered in braided sleeve with glue lines heatshrink, not just wrapped in pvc tape.

 

If anyone wants any info as i say e-mail me. Obviously i need to get patterns so if you want something and ive not done it before, providing you can supply a pattern loom to copy then i can make it for the cost of parts.

 

Any questions or queries plase mail me

It's a good thing to do as a hobby, you might find if or when you try it as a business that the time it takes will outprice the job for most diy peeps as it can be very time consumming.

 

The one i did above was for a good mate of mine and he wanted his original loom repaired and altered to look as original as possible hence doing it in the correct pvc tape, similar to i had done on one of my own old car he'd seen, i do use other type of materials on auto electrical work i do as part of my business, including what you have shown in your pics

I'd be interested in a loom .... as i hate wiring!

 

Whats the rough price of a loom being made... as i would need two looms spliced together. My escort one and an 200sx one.
