Main Body Loom - 3

Time for some more wiring. First off was to fit the rear section of the main body loom. This connects to the front section of loom in the passenger footwell and is p-clipped to the bulkhead: The loom is then p-clipped to the floor adjacent to the tunnel: Before disappearing through the rear bulkhead into the boot: Next came the slightly confusing bit. The front part of the loom runs forward for the lights / fans / horn. It exits from the n/s engine bay and runs under the inner bonnet lip: Looks obvious in the photo - but as you can see in the previous photo it is not visible normally. The main part of loom then runs across the front of the body p-clipped to the bonnet hinge pin moulding:The plug in the foreground is the connection for the fans. Inside both the weelarches the wires for the lights pass through grommets but the wires for the repeaters have to run to back up inside the wheelarches???:I would have thought it simpler for these wires to run from the dash, through the bulkhead into the wheelarch compartments - but hey ho - that's the loom I've got and I'm not going to pull it apart! Having run up the inside of the wheelarch the wires finally run though a grommet into the wheelarch compartments: Just need to sort out the bit of loom around the heater pipes.
