Well iv just come in from working on the mini most of the afternoon, I fetched a rear loom this morning courtesy of Udo....
so vi been removing the old and replacing with new this afternoon....
The reasoning behind this will become very apparent when u look at the pics. The car had 2 full rear looms, both fed under the floor brace/seat mount and up through the rear seat and then through the seat back..... one down either side...
and one partial loom just at the rear....
none of the looms were full or in any decent state to repair so they will be scrapped....
thats not where it ends tho, cause allong with the looms were 2 lengths of 4 core cable one into the boot as with the looms and one just fed from the dash to the back coiled up....
the mind boggles!!!
so now the car has only one rear loom, which is fed through the roof channel and down the "A" pillar as its supposed to be...
Iv also come up against another couple of problems this week... the replacement fron loom i got sent was the wrong type...(solenoid on the wing, mine is on the starter)
and the rear lights are the wrong kind for the year of car(no reverse lights) oh and their wiring has been butchered too....
i have however got the wiper motor and mechanism fitted, re fitted the exhaust (looked like it had been fitted by a blind guy) as it was sitting against the rear subframe, freed off the handbrake quadrants so i can actually put it on now, and sorted a place for my intercooler to sit....
these pics are as it is now, (im gonna run the loom inside the car behind th dash)
The old looms....
thanks
Jim
