Rob_Mitchell Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) loom tucks and fuse box relocations now available as a service through us. Seems to be a new craze and after doing mine, i think its only right to add it too my list of new things im doing. The conversion will include all nessessary wires extended- soldered- shrink wrapped and wrapped in high quality tape. fuse box will be located under the headlight, the fuse box bottom cut off and plastic welded and sealed and then mounted with a custom bracket to secure it perfectly under the headlight for easy access once the light is removed. As alot of you know who have seen my work, im a perfectionist and i treat every car as if its my own and i will add little touches to give the bays a bit of a twist and to make them different from others.Some pics of the loom tuck on my Single turbo build. Chris dropped the supra off today so i can work my magic and hide a few things from under the bonnet. This is my first TT tuck and hide and i have some neat ideas. The battery and washer bottle are in the boot. Should look good once i have finished with it. quick pic before i remove anyore from the bay.

Attero Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 If you run into any problems, wouldn't it be difficult to fix some things with a tuck? Also, how much would you charge for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your doing is moving the loom from top side to underside, then putting fuse box elsewhere which is easy to get to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Todays efforts Loom is routed nice, and wires are ready for extending. I have gave the bay a good degrease and its not come up too bad but ill use some compound to get it up even better. Im only being paid to do the light loom and fuse box but i really couldnt help myself and i have started cleaning bits up around the engine. Ill carry on cleaning tonight and tomorrow ill get some of the wires extended and i might muck around with the fuse box bracket, but im in no rush.

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm liking that! Slowly getting there, its much different to when i did mine as i had no engine or radiator in ect and seemed to be a doddle... this is taking alot of brain power lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Looking alot better already Rob your making good progress very fast but as you say there is no rush. Im only being paid to do the light loom and fuse box but i really couldnt help myself and i have started cleaning bits up around the engine - Thanks Rob is good to see how much effort you are putting in and treating the car as if it was your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Rob, in the first photo where you have removed the loom that comes through the inner wing hole..... how did you remove that? On my car it runs underneath the AC radiator, not really followed it into the cabin. Can it be unplugged through the firewall or something? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That bit there bud. On my car it splits 3 ways IIRC. One part of the loom goes up to the ABS, part of it goes round under the headlight and under the top of the aircon rad and it makes its way into that hole, along the inner wing and into the firewall via a grommet IIRC. I couldn't see any way of getting it totally out of the way without cutting lots of wires. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
