1979 cabriolet fuel injection- new wiring loom / carbs?

Weezle · Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:29 am Post subject: 79 loom

Jon Aaron at vwlooms.com in UK made a loom for me based upon the core I sent him. Now that he has measurements/specs he can make you one too. No one else makes a complete harness for the 75-79 bugs, the only thing made stateside is the "main" harness from engine to fuse block. Jon has every wire except maybe the two foot ground for the rear window defroster (easy female spade terminal at each end) and the wiper motor wires (I didn't want to cut them off to send them).

The FI harness is more difficult. You need to send a core to Kyle (http://www.kyleautomotivespecialties.com/) and you'll get back a like new FI harness. It was rather pricey but its definitely show quality.

PM me if you are interested in a used but good complete harness I pulled out of my car which is like 98% complete. I don't have the FI harness however as the core was a parts donor.

Here's a couple pics of how I put the seats in just 1" box section drilled through original side runners from the 3 point mount floor pan and counter drilled and then bolted to the Audi seats works really well no problems

Weezle - thanks for the advice! just waiting for Jon to get back to me, cheers

Garry - thanks for the photos of the seats, I am on the hunt for some audi seats now, they fit a treat. when u ordered the wiring for the heated seats, can u remember what it consisted of and the switching arrangement? I have been this question by two separate companies I have approached for a loom including james 153, cheers

Hi ady

I got James to supply the loom i told him it was for a 1303, so it came from the the fuse box and goes to the seats. I also bought Audi TT seat switches which the wiring for them was in the loom and James supplied easy instructions to connect it all up , i fitted a Kamei style centre console which is sited in front of the fuse box and thats where i mounted the switches I t was about £35

Hi Garry, I was wondering what to do with the lh dash the other day, so you would be more than welcome to have it. It is in better condition than my rh one, it just has a very small split, but apart from that, I think it is ok. I will give it a dust off and post up some pics. Instead of cash, have you got anything left over from your resto I'm going to need to do a swap? Or just pay for the postage for me to send it to you?

Just found the switches on ebay so I'm going to buy a couple and fit a centre console like yours.

I got the engine out last week And then the body is being braced with box section to brace ready to take the body off the pan, which should be the week after next. Aiming to get pan uptogether for Christmas and then body respray in jan.

Hi Ady

Thanks for the offer i am sure we can work something out .
I have just had an operation on my left hand so will be out of action for sometime , in the garage anyway that is . 4 weeks i will be going mad !!!

I got my centre console from a firm in Ireland aircooled something cant remember exactly , as trying to get an original Kamei one that hasn't been butchered is just about impossible . the one i got was about £60 posted .

What bits are you after , i have some stuff but probably not what you need .
let me know what you are after i did a lot of hunting around for seals rubbber trims etc and found a big difference in prices Diemos was good for some , but ask me and hopefully i can steer you in the right direction.

i will have a set of cross drilled front disc set up with calipers and stub axles , if yours has drums a good swap when i have changed mine.

a very good hood frame that i was going to use just ready for powder coating .
refurbed rhd steering rack
powder coated pedal assembly rhd
a spare set of hood clamps .

what are you doing with bumpers are you changing them or keeping the originals?

It's a pitty you are so far away cars and rebuild so muc in common

Hi Garry,

I definitely need the pedal assembly and what condition are the hood clamps in? One I have is broken and the other is slightly rusty so was going to buy two new ones from Wolfsburg west.

I would also be interested in the brakes.

Bumpers - these had had it, so went to the scrapyard and buying new.

When will be the brakes be changed over?

Cheers ady

i dont think the brakes will be done until at least the end of November or even mid December just depends on how well my hand repairs and whether my wife lets me back in the garage lol.Unless you fancy a trip up North and stripping them off!!!!!

i would want £35 for the pedal cluster as it has been refurbed and powder coated.

the hood catches are all good , i know where these are so i will try and get a picture of them in the next couple of days .

i have a new rear Euro bumper with genuine vw rubber strip and a front rubber strip to match very nice if of any interest.

also just remembered i have a set of porsche teledial wheels black with polished centre caps

Also just to let you know i have just bought all new urethane bushes for the front and rear from KingfisherKustoms these were half the price of what they would of been from heritage

Hi Garry,

I'll like to buy the pedal assembly, how much would you be after for the catches and bumper?

Is the bumper the good quality version, i.e. not the sunny climate ones?

Would you be prepared to put a price together for the 3 items together posted to BH7 6QB, with me posting the dashboard to you?

The wheels sound good, but might be too heavy and costly to post / parcel? do you have any photos of them?

The brakes may be ok as I wont need them before then.

Successfully spilt the pan from the body tonight, just need a few mates round at the weekend to carry it out of the garage...................

Cheers

Ady

?Hi Ady hope this comes you ok

Excuse typing as only got one hand at the moment !!!

here are some pics of bumper it is Brazilin reasonable quality i was going to put it on mine but keeping the originals now
the rubber strips are genuine VW and really transform the bumper itlooks a bit dull thats is just because i had coated it with WD

there is a pic of the hood catches i was keeping them to go into the spare hood frame i have but the ones on my hood are ok so i can let these go .

Pedal cluster all good and like new

I would like £175 for the lot plus postage or you can arrange it yourself , if you want the wheels i can do a deal with them

have you got any pictures of the split of the body from the pan and your engine

cheers Garry

Hi Garry,

The £175 for the items would be great. How much more do you think postage will be? How can I pay you?

Thanks for the pics of the wheels, but I am probably going for alloy / chrome ones.

I will take some pics of the floorpan and body at the weekend after lifting the body out of the garage. I have just been having a poke about and everything appears pretty solid. Still only one hole under the battery tray and a small hole in one wheelarch, apart from that, just surface crud, I don't think the welding list is going to be very long which is good. One day of my brother in law bringing his welder round and it should get wrapped up.

Cheers

Ady
