I got mine from premier looms, he will make it to your spec, I havnt fitted it yet but it looks top quality and came with full instructions, it even came with its own crimpers.

Another vote for Premier Wiring. Alan is really helpful. Loom can be customised to what you need and comes with clear instructions.

wiring does not require the sacrifice of any chickens or anything, it is very easy to wire up a kit car, Here is a link to an article i wrote some years ago and is posted somewhere on a locost forum,

http://www.andersensmith.freeserve.co.uk/wiringloom6.pdf

it does cover the subject your asking about. and here is a link to something about using relays (for fitting cooling fans)

I have posted various links to full instructions on wiring cars. if you were able to build your car why wimp out on the electics? wiring a kit car is a doddle, give it a go you'll surprise your self.

Snowy2 has provided EXCELLENT advice in his articles. I have done my car 4 times now (and my car has not yet been on the road), and had I seen his information, I would only have had to do it once. I have made a bodge of it every time, but at the moment, it works. Next year, I'll take it apart and do it properly. I had trouble figuring out where to put the fuses, junction boxes (of which I have many) and relays. I just couldn't visualise things.

It is not easy, however, and is very very hard on your back. Also, my crimping is terrible, much worse than my soldering. Many earths have come loose, which has been very frustrating. I wish I had someone to do it all for me, but I don't so I have to just carry on as usual. I do feel it is misleading to tell people that it is a doddle, when it clearly is not; last go took me 6 months of solid, continuous work. It can be a rat's nest of wire under your dash if you "just do one wire at a time". No, you need to know what you are doing, or risk blowing a lot of fuses or worse, cause a fire.
