Hello Jason, what I'm thinking of doing is using multicored cable such as the cable used for PLC input/output connections. you get about 30 cores with an overall diameter of about 18mm and each core is rated at 7 amps. Although all the cores are black they are imprinted with core numbers every 200mm or so. You could then use a multi connector at the back and run a single cable to the front and use a firewall connector such as the f**d one. Just an idea I've come up with. Cheers Jack

Having just put a complete VT loom into a EH (along with a supercharged V6), but leaving all the components in basically the original position I offer three thoughts.
1 Hope you have bought the Service & Maintenance CD from a Holden dealer - gives you all the wiring circuits & looms
2 Note that in the same loom there are the same colour coded wires for different circuits, they are usually different gauges but hard to pic
3 You can have the airbag circuit disabled by a Holden dealer (Tech 2 required to program option in speedo)

Ehsv6,
I got a cd from ebay for about $14 compared to the holden one for $400 I think it was... This is the second loom that I will have done, but the first time i was able to cut one and join one... quite simple. But was looking at cutting the whole lot to extend them. i may not have to now as am looking at using the centre console as the carrier for the cables.
Airbag is going to remain as well as the seat belt tensioners, with ABS etc.
Cheers
JB

Hey Jason,fantastic work by the way.With regards to joining the loom (not sure if it has been mentioned before) and following up on Craig's usefull advice, make sure you offset the cut on each wire so that when you join them all back together you don't have a huge bunch of joins all in the one spot.You probably already thought of that but just in case you didn't....Cheers,Jamie.

Jason, Good news on the sale of your van, but I bet tinged with some sadness  . The ute looks like its progressing nicely, some nice pics showing your great work  . You'll be pleased to hear I have finely got around to registering the FC van  , without I word of a lie, since I got her way back in December last year, I have done nothing except replace the swaybar rubbers and strapped the battery in, took her down to the mechanic (drove her on dealer plates , how fun was that considering the extent of driving has been in & out of the driveway), thinking I'll get a list of things to fix, and drove her back on paid up CTP insurance and a RWC  . I did get a small list of very minor infringements he wanted looked at, but I just can't believe how well she has kept after so many years of (basically) storage. Temp gauge didnt get over half and I havent changed oil, coolant or anything since getting her, but she'll be getting the works now I can drive her. Taking her to Transport on Friday for rego (what a great birthday present hey) and then driving her around all day . Thanks once again for putting me onto her (in a non sexual way, not that theres anything wrong with that ) Cheers Marc |

Its fantastic to see it finally back on the road, I am sure you will get lots of joy out of it... or even (Being in her!!!)
My van has gone to a good home and hopefully will see it at Orange back in original form...
Not sure if i will get the ute there though as my new job has taken priority.
Cheers
JB

Well its been awhile since I have got to doing anything on the ute but have been home a week, so here are a few more snaps... Orange is not going to happen for the ute unfortunately...        What a couple of hectic days that have gone by trying to get this done. The engine has been in and out about 5 times while trying to get it to align up and for it to have the required clearance from the firewall. I had to chop the firewall again and will still need a little more massaging to get the engine to go in and out easily. The engine mounts had to be moved on the crossmember and on the engine, and I need to re weld the sump again. But am happy that it has the engine in and mounted properly... still heaps to do and i dont know when i will be able to get back to it.. I hope you enjoy the pics. Cheers JB |

Jase. Great to see you back in town. Must seem like an eternity since you last worked on the ute. Motor fittment is looking great and now you're home progress can at least be forward instead of stagnant. Jase http://gallery.oldholden.com/hrpremier/ |

Hi Jim,
Yes mate I have been here on the forum, however my car is in Cairns and I am now in Darwin.
I started at Jetstar 4 months ago and that is where the progress has finished. I am really itching to get back into it, but won't be bringing the car across here as its a non goer at the moment so the car carriers wont touch it and i haven't room to store it.
With that also i cant get holidays to go to the Nationals... again... Not a happy camper!!!
But rest assured that the ute will be finished, hopefully within the next 12 months all going well.
I need a good 3 weeks at it to probably get it running, and some dollars to inject into some of the more expensive parts, lsd, coil overs for the rear, tailshaft, reconditioning the brakes, etc
Then its all about time on it.
I just want to hear it going, bring it on.
Cheers
Jason
