Hi gang, how are you all,well this is a bit of an update on my seven, got the new battery and it turns over a bit better than it did, had the steering box out and fitted the new tubes for ignition and gas with the new linkages, distributor now turns freely, run the new wires in for the horn and yes it works has well, brilliant, these light fairly warm days are a blessing, now the rub,, I now find that a lot of the wiring insulation is breaking down and is going powdery with age especially around the regulator and cutout box and under the dashboard, so here is the question yep you've guessed it, a new loom is probably in order, so any thoughts on where this can be sourced and wether a braided one is best, any tips are greatly appreciated, best wishes to you all, Robin

Hi, Robin,
what seven do you have? if it a ruby, then you will be able to get one of the shelf from the seven workshop
good luck,
Jon

Hi Robin,
I recently re-wired my 2seat tourer using a wiring Dia. from EA7C website and buying the cotton braided wiring from The wiring harness company. I used slightly oversized wire and now have execellent charging and headlights even on 6 volt, also soldered all wire ends and terminals, If I can do it it is not too difficult

Robin,

Have a look at www.autosparks.co.uk. They made me a custom wiring loom incorporating the features described in David Cochranes link. They were very helpful and the cost wasnt much more than a standard Ruby loom.
