Trojan loom where does it go?

[thomast]

what!?! Headlight level? I was looking lower the that!

[richard]

surely if i remember correctly the wires go into the frame at steering wheel level , around the hoop and come out through a hole fitted with a rubber grommet at headlamp level on the other side - after all they are headlamp wires . i do hope this IS correct , why would they go any lower ? i remember fishing through the hole with a bent wire to pull them through . it was 20 years ago though.

You can get a proper 'Draw Tape' these days pretty cheap.  Electricians use them.  Fairly stiff steel or plastic that threads through more easily than a bit of wire.  Then attach the electrics and pull them through.

For instance

both my before and after photos show wires hanging from the tube in that position

There should be a hole there, but perhaps someone welded over it? I bought a new loom for mine when I restored it about 7 years ago and found the trickiest job was getting all the wires into the dashboard and connected to switches lights and fuses. The modern wire has slightly thicker insulaltion, so a tight fit for old wires became an incredibly tight fit for new! Vaseline helps.

I will be back in the barn this weekend... I'll let you know  

btw, just love that upsite-down dash... Amazing design... It could not have been that hard to add a hole on the rhs of the dash

Not me gov, purely AC. Vox AC30 valve amplifier and an AC G-wiz.

Okay, on the right there is a 11mm hole  in the front tube. on the left there is a tinny gap in the joint/corner where the front tube meets the dash support tube...

I think it will be far more easy to extend the loom and go round the back!    Who designed this 

[richard]

Its not a tiny gap  :)its big enough . The 11mm ( mine was only 10mm ! I feel cheated ) hole is for the. Wiring a grommet - it all works perfectly . Vorsprung durch technic
