Can't find the answer on here, but does the wiring need to be colour coded for SVA? I only have red, black and white automotive wire available. And printable wire sleeves for IDing.

Nope.

My cousin rebuilt his motorbike completely, including a full re-wire in black. He's colourblind so has to test everything he ever does at least twice!

Not if my car is anything to go by. It looks colour coded at one end of the tunnel, but it has a different colour coding at the other end!

Thanks for the answers. so red is live, white somewhere in between and black ground

If it's any help, given the wide availability of different colours over here, when I start building an Epona, I intend to try and have a fully colour coded wiring loom. Mainly because of all the faffing about I've had to do with my car. Nothing worse than not knowing what any of the wires in a big bunch do.

Get some different coloured tapes and put a piece round every so often or use combinations to code them at the ends.

You can get no end of colour combinations from suppliers like Premier Wiring etc. It is definitely a good idea to invest in a few metres of say 20 colours to get you started and work from there.

If you are building a loom I'd suggest opening the yellow pages and hunting out your local harness maker I found them to be 50% cheaper than online and and bit more if you pay cash :-)
