soutie Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I am putting my 110 CSW together and want to ask where do I connect the towbar wiring loom to the main loom. In the space up in the rear station wagon body or in the wheel well behind where the rubber divider goes? I will post pictures tomorrow when at the barn.

ballcock Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I connected mine in the offside rear tub behind the cover panel where the loom feeds from the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Tow socket wires go from the socket along rear cross member then up into right rear corner to be connected into each of the required lights wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutie Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Got the two looms through their holes. Towbar loom to the left and main loom to the right. In the process of slowly matching wire colours. Still to put the grommet back in the hole to the right. It seems I have miss placed some double connectors so also need to get them.

ballcock Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Personally I would cut those Lucas connectors off and use something like these. https://www.screwfix.com/p/ideal-lever-wire-connectors-combo-pack-30-piece-set/6472g Much more convenient and less hassle.

soutie Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I see that they are rated to 24A. Is this man enough for the purple live feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I used Maypole junction box mounted in the rear to bring the loom into neatly and wire out to tow socket etc., tidies it up lovely; 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soutie Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. I have a Euro 12 volt plug and cigar lighter in each rear body lamp covers which I want to keep. Not sure if I could fit those connectors behind the lamp covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Holy bobbins, the difference between your interior and mine I can't decide if you're putting me to shame or you're just not using yours properly One of these days I'll go round with the rollers and re-paint mine, might even wash it first...

soutie Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks Fridge Freezer for the compliment. It has been a 8 year long job so far. I am an accountant who is learning to be a mechanic on the job. I have used her properly, if one could say that, in overlanding from Somerset down to Cape Town in her 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soutie Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Western good spot. As an accountant I did not have my calculator with me, that should read 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Ah, got it now you've done the Somerset to Cape Town trip in 2003 & now your doing the restoration. I thought you were going to do that trip once the restoration was completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Hunter Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 FF, your Maypole connector box looks incredible, but, I visited their site and they give absolutely zero data on the internals of the box. Did the internals shown in your third photo all come as an integral part of the box, excluding the wiring, of course? On their site I couldn't even see a "Contact us" link. They really do need to get a decent web designer, or get me a new pair of specs! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
