yeah agreed, profit margin is important - but equally doing these in bulk (tho lets face it your never going to be building 100s of cossie looms a yr) enables you to drive down material costs etc so to me it 50/50.

I'm pulling the engine and box on mine this weekend so ill have a good look around the loom then on the bench, but experience tells me it would be nice to start from a fresh loom that's a known quantity rather than a 30yr old ford one.

Didn't mean to wind anyone up over my posts but I still maintain that there isn't anything complex in there just a few wires and some simple terminations and screens, no twin-ax, no double screens etc and I'd encourage anyone to have a go at building one so long as your methodical and double check everything as you go. And yes I am just a chimp with a soldering iron and a few crimp tools
