A small update, now I've had pretty much all the parts arrive I can finally get on with more of the loom.
I've still decided to avoid the birds nest of wiring including the mini fuseboxes until in the week and my brothers about for a second pair of eyes.
Still managed to remove a lot more wiring like the standard immobiliser system and diagnostic plug.
Also properly relocated the window switch wiring to the colunm covers, where the switches are
(They had already been previously cut, thus the soldered connectors on some wires)
Next up removed the original Maxi fuesbox and replaced it with the new item which will be clipped to the new mini fusebox when its fitted and mounted into a custom bracket, but thats all still to come
Next up, just tidied things up a little so I could keep track of the shape of the loom, once done it will be properly taped up and tidied.
Was weighing up doing the loom entirely in heat shrink, but as this is using prdominately oe connectors, it'd be a lot of work to do, also it'll be safely under a carpet, so I think tape will be more than good enough.
Hope you're happy with the progress.
Just noticed I really need to tidy your radio wiring, what radio do you have?
As the loom, supplies and tools are now at home I'll be doing it in evenings in the week.
Still looking into the other things we discussed
