You could try doing your own using the wire from your donor.

These look interesting as well.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hmmm...didn't give enough info, I'll sart again!!
Has anyone bought a pre Vicki Green Lolocost loom? The reason I ask, is that I bought one cheap at an open day, and I'm trying to sort out the
steering column wiring. Nothing Pony about it, just that I know nothing about electrics!

How much did you pay ?? Throw it away !
My mate bought Vicki Green loom and only had problems with the following :-
Lights
Ignition
Dizzi (big time)
Horn
Starter
Any thing else you can think of.
Cost him more time (and money) than doing it from scratch, which is my plan.

FYI I've used a mk4 Escort loom in mine. Fitted a treat, very few un-needed bits and even sits nice on the bulkhead.

Are you insane? Why on earth would I want to throw it away?? You must have your beer head on!!
I bought it cheaply to try and save myself some work. It was made by Autosparks, and should have come with a short adapter loom to connect up to a
Sierra column. The adapter kit was missing which is presumably why it was cheap. £60.00 if I remember correctly. I have the loom installed in my car,
and for the money, have no complaints. It's fairly straight forward, but as a non electrician, I was trying to make it "EASY" for
myself.
I've spent ages going through the wiring diagrams, and think I've solved my problems.

As far as I can see a pre Vikki Green loom is exactly the same as a Vikki Green loom, they just named it after her because she fitted it instead of
her husband and rang Lolocost to thank them. Presumabely this was a rare happening for Lolocost so they named it after the only person that found it
easy.
Sounds like we all need our better halves to fit the wiring loom.

A friend of mine building a Locost bought one of these looms in an attempt to make it easier (quicker) for his auto-electrician friend to wire up his
car. Having had a good look at it, the said auto electrician though it was OK as a source of different coloured wires but a joke as a wiring loom!
I'm not an electrician but wired my car up OK using the Mk2 Escort loom.

The new 'complete?' (if RHE ever supply anything that's complete !) is only about £60 isn't it ? not that I'd give
'em 60p for one now !
The one I foolishly bought did just end up as source of wire

The VG loom is made in India I believe. The one I have was made in the UK by Autosparks.

Check where the wires go and what for in the loom and work out which wores out of your switches do what...
I think its easier to use the loom that came from your donor car. Its should be near enough plug and play with a bit of shortening within
reason(although im nowhere near that stage yet)..
