Periodically check earth returns for signs of corrosion
cracking/snaps, frayed, colours fading making replacement difficult
In removal things to note are :- p-clips some are difficult to remove - one right wing (inside), top left inside (behind wiper motor?), left wing (bay) top middle inside, right wing (bay) x2 each front arms for headlamps, 2 under radiator several along inside of cruciform on-chassis under the floorboards, 2 circular clips hold fuel sender wire to horizontal pipework
The loom enters the chassis under the back seat, comes out of the chassis rail, alongside the petrol tank, because the chassis rail is partially blocked by the cross-tube. the loom re-enters the chassis behind the same cross tube, then comes out again just in front of the rear cross-tube. The in-out-in-out creates a convolution that should make it impossible (or very difficult) to pull through.
watch for earth point on O/S rear above bumper bracket and the earth returns (one on gearbox seen under front passenger floorboard)
It may be possible to obtain a replacement wiring loom from 'Auto Sparks', part numbers LN12c (Briggs) and LN14c (Barker). Link at the bottom of this page.
All images are scanned from originals, wherever possible, at 100dpi (unless otherwise noted) and must be scaled when printed to preserve the original size (eg. scale up by 3 times for a 300dpi printer).
Note, however, that due to slight scaling inaccuracies during both the scanning and inevitably the printing, these images should be taken as an approximation for reference only.
In addition, drawings, measurements and notes of materials used are intended as a guide and aid to the restorer, and not necessarily a definitive, or even guaranteed correct, reference.
