Default Major Re-Wire

Hi, wondering if poeple can help me.

Just started a 3dr cosworth project, re-shelling my rotten sapph into a 3dr shell.

The new shell came with no wiring in it what so ever, so on the advice of some friends i have purchased an XR4i internal wiring loom and fuese box, the one that does the lights, wipers internal clocks etc etc.

Anyone know if this is going to work? I'm concerned that things like the fuel pump relay and wiring may not be compatable? And also the connection between my 2wd sapph engine loom/ABS and the xr4i internal loom appears different?

I have the cosworth ABS loom already installed and have the cosworth engine loom too (out of an '88 sapph) its just getting them to interface with this Xr4i loom thats bothering me - i bought it as it was in MINT condition and very reasonably priiced you see.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

First thought - have you checked to see if Ryan has sold his immac 3 dr loom mate?? If he didn't get the cash he was going to cut it and reuse the plugs etc.

it won't plug in directly as you have found, but there's not many wires to interface

i have put a 2wd cossie engine into a 4x4 cossie shell and then into a 4x4 ghia shell and not had major problems with it

buy an 044 fuel pump loom for £45 off of coswurv,far better than 20 year old wiring and a bit of piece of mind.
