Take down started

The take down started yesterday, and I'm still going. What a mess these Westfield looms are. Fortunately I'm ditching a few switches and power feeds as I no longer have a windscreen but still...!

Didn't take too long to extract the dash from the scuttle and I've stripped it now and will use as template to cut out a cheap bit of ply as a tester. I've also removed the heater at long last.

Thanks to Adam Reeves, I reckon I've sorted the Savage switching too.

Here's a pic of the Koso main loom (the thick black shiny thing hanging out of the connblock) in place. I've used connblock for now rather soldering as I may well need to revert back (although that fills me with just as much dread...). I've also used another connblock to provide earth points. I'm going to assume I should at least earth everything that used to be, although the feeds should earth via the Koso.

I had to have the scuttle off in the end as I pulled the switched-live wire off the back of starter-block whilst trying to connect in the Koso :angry:

From a distance it looks like a nightmare :down:

I note that the carpet is torn, this was hidden by the centre console :down: so not sure where to go with this now...

I'll get back to it tomorrow, hopefully in a position to test fit and at least get the basics going. Then I need to think about the speedo feed which will need the Koso supplied sensor fitting...

Onwards and upwards.
