Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 As much detail about the car as possible would help as early and later looms are quite different, the type of loom supplied was also influenced for a while by engine choice. Compared to a modern cars loom though, the Westfield looms are way simpler! Though the later/current modular looms are a little more complex than the early, engine specific looms. Fortunately, there are good wiring diagrams for much of the stuff used since the 2000's or so, plus the factory has pretty much always used standard Lucas wiring colour coding, (helps identify the wires function), so it would be possible to strip the loom tape off, and use the burnt section as a template to replace the wires? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
