loom SVA requirements
Staple balls - 27/11/03 at 10:28 PM

Well, i've decided to make my own loom. mostly because i'm a bit bored and i'm wondering what the SVA rules are regarding lights, and general loom related stuffage, what features it needs to have to pass etc.

cheers

In our book the details are very vague - I think as long as it works properly Fog Light with Headlights not sidelights and other obvious things there is little said.

As long as it's suitably fused/relay'd and secure, there is little.

Sorry no help - best way is to get a book from somewhere - don't ask where as they are in demand and SVA haven't printed any for a while.

You will need all the normal lights/indicators/horn and dash warning lights, an engine loom and instrument loom. The SVA people will be looking for a level of design and install similar to that found in a new mainstram car.

That's exactly what I did, only I spent a whole weekend flucking about before I ordered mine.

You wusses! I'm using an Escort mk4 loom with the relevant bits of the Sierra engine loom spliced in. It's been dead easy, even easier if you were using a carb engine.

Tagliatelli's better. It lays flat against the rails so you can clip it up easier. I stripped the Sierra loom carefully from the donor and needed a wheelbarrow to move it after. I came to the conclusion that it was easier to cut it up and make my own with the bits from it. It nearly follows ford colour coding so it should be easy if anything goes wrong.

yours, Pete.
