Gordon R Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) A good mate is building a Fairthorpe Electron kit car. It was, at one time, road registered and running. He bought it as a body, chassis and boxes of bits. Engine (new big ends, mains and rings), gearbox, new clutch / release bearing, most of the brakes and suspension - all done. Brake pipes will be made this week, but he is lacking a wiring loom. A long shot, but if anyone has a Herald wiring loom stuck in their garage, he is in the market for one.

London Best Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 I have had three looms from Autosparks, Nottingham, and all have been excellent and not overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen-H Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Long shot but also Baxenden car breakers in Accrington had a classic section they were breaking might turn something up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the youngest wiring loom is now 50yrs old, I would not be reusing that. The 'green creep of death' will mean you're forever chasing faults If it's a kit car/bitsa, personally I'd just use a universal kit loom and shorten the wires as necessary. Will probably be quickest way to get a running car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) udderlyoffroad - thanks for the tip. Something i hadn't considered. Just found one on Amazon - with instructions. £52. Edited August 8, 2023 by Gordon R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 udderoffroad - just spoken to him - ordering the Amazon version. I'm pleased as I had visions of an elderly loom, which I suspected I would get roped into fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
