steve b Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Will you have a chance to run it over a weighbridge once built? It would be interesting to see what Sid weighs in battle trim. My estimate is 2078kg with fuel and recovery gear Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Stephen Well the MGW of a 90 of its age is 2400kg… so I need to be quite a way under that! I’d like to be close to 2000kg… but we’ll see how that goes.

All the usual MOT requirements, heated screens I stripped all the old loom wrap off last night, there will be wiring i can remove so that will help to make things neater. Its all bit of a rats nest, wires added, wires removed over the last 30yrs or so, any bits I really struggle with I will be posting up for advice I'm assuming you can buy loom wrap, hav'nt checked the net yet regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Or if you want it to be more easily serviceable, then you can try the spiral wrap stuff I used, and was recommended to use by @FridgeFreezer, on LGT: lovingmona Cable Tidy Tube Black 10m Diameter 6mm & 4mm Wire Management Sleeve Flexible Spiral Cable Wrap Kit for TV PC Audio Laptop Ethernet Cable : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools Cable-Tex Spiral Binding - BLACK Cable Tidy Wrap 12mm x 2m: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools Fridge had a fair bit left over, so he may be able to sort you out with some, I think I used all mine on the EFI loom bar about 3 feet.

Stellaghost Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Forgot about spiral wrap, which is ridiculous as I've used it in the past, only thing with spiral wrap is that it can thicken your loom a bit much unless there is a thinner version to what I've used I the past regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Even the bigger one is only maybe 1mm thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD5toV8110 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 If I was in the UK I would do a road trip..... Done many one off looms.. I did a custom loom for a Landie from scratch years ago. Two halfish days.... If no one volunteers I am sure you will nail it Stephen! Ho Ho Ho and all that! It's Christmas morning here in Aus! 28 degrees and maybe a thunderstorm this arvo! 🥶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I hate the spiral stuff … but the first stuff Bowie has shared is fantastic. You can get a really slim factory look to things with that. I feel so strongly about it that if you don’t - I’ll buy you a roll ☝️ just to stop you using an inferior product. 😃😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
