Wiring loom route

Postby riley2456 » 06 Feb 2017 18:48

I've just had the car painted with a few panels replced. It looks great but rather stupidly I didn't take enough photos before the strip down. I now find myself with a loom section dangling from the front nearside wing, which clearly needs to go to the off side. However, th exact route is not obvious.

does it go within the headlamp panel?

Hi

Apologies, I can't help with the loom but can I ask where you got the car repainted? Just that I am looking for someone to do mine. After it is done, I can call you and ask where my loom goes... :)

Hi,
The loom goes across the headlamp panel from N/S to O/S. It runs between the outer panel and the bracing nearest the bonnet. The two photos show what it should be like under each headlamp pod.

Mine runs that route. Is there a clip(s) that should secure it to the underside of the headlamp panel? My loom is evident about half way down the panel as it seems there is nothing to hold it at the top so it slips down. supercass

I had the car painted at Burnley Motors in Liverpool. Great job but I know the owner and got mates rates!
