Recommend me a manual
Greenie - 13/10/14 at 06:08 PM

As said, I am looking fir a manual which will help and guide me through some work on my wiring loom, it a mixed bag of old triumph and new Zetec, no headlights and alternator warning lights along other minor electrical issues, a full bank of fuses not working which may be from the triumph loom, hence this is a winter project and want to strip out the old and enhance the new with the added addition of the warning lights etc.

I ain't that bad with electrics but still need some guidance hence a nice simple manual may assist, so is there anyone who can recommend one, if one does exist?

This is always worth a read, made by a member of Locostbuilders i think?

How to wire a kit car

If you go for the kit car wiring book mentioned above, it's about £6 2nd hand on amazon at the moment.

Can't find the one in Amazon, do you have the link?

It says £2.49 (presumably plus a couple of quid for postage)

Looks like they only have one copy so you might have to be quick.

Good luck, I nearly bought it yesterday, thought I'de better check in my garage first & found a copy that I had forgotten ! Can't even remember buying it :-)

Or the older version (but the same as far as I can tell) for a penny!

Which Triumph is the loom from? Am guessing a dolomite? Do you have a wiring diagram for it? And which parts are you using.

BTW most Triumphs ran on 2-4 fuses, some had none......

Dolomite loom.... Not had the car long and coming across little us sues with the wiring which need sorting, their are two banks of fuses both with 4 fuses in, one bank has not live in or out.
