Which loom?
Probably been asked many times before:
I want a loom to do all the lighting and switchery stuff in my Indy working on savage switches, but keeping the bike clocks etc.
What loom should I be looking at?

Well i have just wired up a BEC using the R1 clocks for a fellow member and have got it really neat doing the job from scratch. Wasnt too hard at all
- just time consuming. We then used the bike loom, extending as required for the engine / clocks. Will definately do exactly the same on my own car -
keeps the loom down to the bare minimum of exactly what you need that way - for example, there isnt a fuel gauge fitted - just a fluid level sensor
from RS Components fitted to the tank to allow the use of the low fuel warning on the bike clocks

I'm already so far down that route (well, someone else is for me as I don't understand) but it's taking a hell of a long time and
it's pretty much the last thing holding up my build at the moment

Yeah its a really big job to be honest but should be worth the wait. I doubt you will gain anything by buying a loom as it will need adapting to suit
your switches and extending / shortening as required no doubt anyway. Its always the way with these jobs - take loads longer than you think. I spent
probably 25 - 30 hours overall to do the Locost R1 but the results are very neat with most of the wiring out of sight

I used the bike loom and just extended the wires to the lights, clocks and ignition etc. All work well just wish I could get the bloody LED indicators
to work.
