VW looms
The Volksgoods VW wiring looms are manufactured as an exact replacement to your original.
A large number of VW loom patterns are held by Volksgoods, available by model year, (most August to July = 19XX RHD UK , LHD Euro and LHD USA ) with vehicles up to 1974 well covered. Unfortunately if a pattern is not on file, then the only option may be send your old loom to us. Regardless of what state it is in, we can usually make from it provided it is complete.
All cables are to correct colour, with the trace (second) colour longitudinal as opposed to radial as on the early VW's. Any tri-colour cables have to be changed to a two colour, all because such original cables cannot be obtained. In many cases, we can offer either ‘thin-wall' cables, designed for modern looms, which have a hard but thin insulation and are not less flexible, than the correct and original standard cables.
Blade connectors are supplied on the ends of most VW cables, with a choice of tin-plated for superior corrosion resistance or original brass exactly as per original, but please note there is a £10 surcharge for the brass terminations. Push-on nylon insulators are provided but not fitted, and should only be fitted after installation of the loom. VW's wiring looms did not have these originally, but fitting is recommended for safety reasons, especially in the unseen areas!
Most patterns can be modified from the original: - to include most popular modifications such as alternator replacement and H4 / P45t headlamps. The loom and cables are provided for front and rear indicators, front and rear lighting, fuse connections and all in line connectors as per original. Battery cables are not included, but can be supplied as extra items. Unlike many of our competitors, we supply the complete wiring system, not just the main front to rear section. However, if your need is for a main section only or indeed any other part of the loom, please check with us for prices. Because your electrical system is unique to your VW we keep details on file, should you need any modifications, changes or additions in the future.
If you require extra cables from the engine bay to the dash, perhaps for instruments etc. the most cost effective way is to run an extra loom on the opposite chassis member - this can be for a little as £20 depending on requirement.
Other option extra items: -
Battery positive lead. (B+ to Starter term 30)
- Split bus & Beetle £15
- Bay Van £17.50
Battery Earth lead ( –ve to chassis) £6
Gearbox Earth (Gearbox to chassis link) £4
Comprehensive instructions are also included with the loom, and the help-line is available most evenings.
Delivery is usually between 2 and 6 weeks from placement of order, spring and summer are the busy times when delivery is likely to be longest. When working from an old loom, the delivery time has to be extended to cover the extra time involved in logging the data.
