It is possible to make a ready to fit set but the ready to fit has to be defined properly.

I had a few reactions a month ago but these members all had different wishes and idea's. I'm happy to make a loom to anyones specs and will come back soon to the ones who pm'd me their personal wishes but it is not possible to create one ready to fit out of these reactions.

The cheapest way at a slant would be to cut the loom under the battery and go on from there with a new loom, maybe some fog/spot wires and electric fan wires already in it but that can be an optional. Like std replacement or with some extra's in it. It is just a few metres extra wire and connectors and that will be a few gbp's more.

If the 1300/1500 rwd RHD have the same looms i can make one too as my 1300 is a RHD and i can take measurment from that car.

It does cost time to develop an easy to fit diy loom what does look like original and have some instructions with it but if all can be the same and if i know I can sell a few it's cheap to reproduce and i can offer it at a decent price. For the relais i would use sockets so just push in a relais. Some do like as myself to use the metal Lucas relays but that would become a slightly different loom.

I can make one off's for all of you like in the picture of Tahiti sprint's one but maybe there can be a cheap dolomite fitment.

My personal idea would be cut off under the battery. Have the relay sockets fitted on the chassis leg under the battery and the new loom from there to the front. This is the least visible spot and can also be used for original looking cars because no relays on the inner wing. People who say it's a dirty greasy moisture spot for this i can guarantee when using decent relays like hella it does not matter. All will become greasy and wet like the original connectors everywhere and most still work after 40 years filled with motoroil, sand salt and water. The relay's would be for lamps and horns. If an electric fan has to be in it or fogs then those relay's are also in it. From memory i thought that there are two main beam wires in the loom for four lamps. one could be used for activating the fan or fogs/spots relay. No use for an extra wire into the car but only cut and connect inside the car for the use of this relay.

Let me know your opinions.

Sounds good to me Jeroen, I'd be up for one.
I only need lights and horn, but as you say extras can be there as options. (1850).

Ok i will have a look next week and have some prices.
