[QUOTE="Walt, post: 640435, member: 18070"] Hi, Original Loom taken out of my 1969 US bay microbus. The good/but mostly bad: - It's not reusable. - It's about 90% complete but as you can see in the pictures it's been chopped/cut in lots of places to remove it from the van. - No fuse box, switches or relays; not all, but some wiring looks to have been cut before the crimp/spade/connectors rather than disconnected. - And obviously being 50+ years old, some of it being around the engine bay, underneath etc means the heat shrink has been exposed and is solid/hard in places. - Some of the original VW style choc blocks are still there. - Quite a bit of aftermarket wiring/new crimps have been attached also. Probably good enough for someone who wants to take a few measurements from an original loom & make their own template (good luck), someone interested in taking it further to bits or someone wanting to rebuild it in some fashion to attach it to a board etc & play around with. It weighs a few kg & don't think it will roll up to fit a medium parcel, so £35 posted. Although I will stress this again - it's 50 years old and in a lot of pieces & you really couldn't or wouldn't want to use it to fit back into a van. If there's a certain section you like a further photo of, then let me know. [ATTACH type="full"]6678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]6680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]6679[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
