#1 3.8 LHD Re-Wire Routing around Steering Column

Post by StefanS38 » Tue Dec 17, 2024 5:41 pm

Hi Guys, Can anyone supply pictures of the original, or correct new wiring routing around the Steering Column Bracket? I did not take mine out, and am struggling to find confirmation as to where the looms lie. In particular where the engine bay loom sits, that comes in from behind the Voltage regulator, and up to meet the instrument panel loom. I do see the tabs, and understand they follow those, but what goes through the holes in the S /Column bracket? and up and down? (I have Autosparks Complete New Loom).Unfortunately No Restorative Publications show this. ( I have all of them ).And I do obviously have the correct Factory Manual wiring connection diagrams, showing relevant colours to instruments etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Would these help?

It's relatively original, beside obvious additions.

Very Helpful. Thanks Tadek. Would you also have any showing the routing of the looms on bulkhead behind the Instrument panel? Regards Stefan

Hi Tadek, Or anyone else,Can you post a picture showing the way the loom sits on bulkhead behind the lowered instrument pannel? Do the early ones also have the two large 'P' Clips securing a thick wiring harness onto the bottom of the dash lid? I am having trouble working out how these thick black parts of the wiring harness lie in the centre behind the instrument panel. No pictures available in any books. Thanks Stefan

The 3rd photo is from a '62 flat floor, as you can see, it's the same arrangement as on my '63 car.
