68 Wiring Loom

[68BUS]

Hey Roy,

Don't spend to much time on this as I don't know if my budget will allow.

My 68's wiring has been badly hacked at.

Do you know how much it would cost to get a full 68 wiring loom including new switches, joiners, fuse box ect???

Is it even possible and if it is do they come in the same colour codes or is there a new wiring diagram with them.

Regards,
Brad

As for a complete loom am not sure but thought I'd seen some somewhere.

The Bus Stop 07 5535 4427 or 0421 765 600
Classic VW 02 9638 4200

There is also Rivo Auto Electrical call Paul on 0407 296 370 - in NSW.

Just so other peole know, I have since tracked down two things.
VW Heritage in UK can send me over a complete main loom, a headlight loom, and new switches for about $800AU Delivered.

These are colour coded the same as the originals. Then its either doing it myself or paying a pro to install at $88/hour. 20 hours maybe???

I also spoke with Acacia Ridge Mobile Auto Electrics. They specialise in custom building wiring looms. They reckon they cost about $3500 up depending what you want.

If I am doing that however a found a 2007 thread recommending a fella at Ipswich that I would try to speak to.

Thanks Kahuna.

We do not have many wiring looms. I may have one 68 loom in stock
This will be only up to the fuse box and some are LHD from overseas
I have found that a good Auto Electrician can make you a loom to suit your needs.
Our mobile guy normally charges between $400 -$600 to remove old wiring and renew where needed and fit everything back in clean and tidy.
Maybe not original colours but nobody sees it when tucked away

Cheers
Roy

Thanks Roy,

I would really appreciate the contact of your auto electrician. He may be too far away but may be able to point me in the right direction.

Have a quick check on the UK early bay website, I think there is I guy who does them for under 200 pound. Having done one for an old alfa I couldn't buy the parts for that sort of money.
