T Rusty Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Can anyone recommend a source for meter lengths of the proper color coded wire used on the TR3s? The wiring on my 3A, unfortunately, is a patchwork of whatever was avail to make things work. Id like to correct that one day. In my spare time. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don H. Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'd be seriously tempted to invest that time in a completely new harness rather than patchwork on old crazy-quilt wiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi Paul ~ I completely renewed the wiring harness on my 3A ~ Highly recommended. If you decide to do this then cut all the old wiring near where they're connected so that you have a colour reference for the new harness. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Paul If you want to retain the original loom, if it's in serviceable condition, Auotsparks do offer a loom repair service including re-braiding. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahamgl Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Another company which can supply all your wiring needs is Polevolt. Slightly keener prices than VWP from memory. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob-menhennett Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 My supplier of choice is https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/. I've used for a number of years keen prices and quick reliable service each time. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I would go for a new loom rather than try repairing an old one, a much safer option. These guys supply the ones we use. https://www.autosparks.co.uk/ Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hello Paul, Having just made my own loom (With many modifications), I can offer this advice. (1) Work out how much you think it will cost, and then multiply that figure by 2.5 (2) Workout how long it is going to take you, then multiply that figure by 10 That way you may get a vague idea of how much it is going to cost and how long it is going to take. Even if you only do a few changes, I can recommend using an adhesive cloth tape to wrap it in. Just look on eBay for TESA TAPE 51608 ADHESIVE CLOTH FABRIC WIRING LOOM It is easier to use than normal PVC insulating tape, will not “Bleed” glue in a year’s time, and it looks neat.
