Wiring Looms

[guy mayers]

Some time in the not too distant future I will be changing the Stratos quite significantly. With the new dashboard comes the problem of rewiring! I've built a loom once before for the Stratos so it doesn't worry me, well, not much anyway! But, I've run out of the various lengths of wire salvaged from various scrapped Italian cars over the years.
So, I want to do the job properly and have been trying to find out what the ISO standard wiring loom colours are for various circuits but haven't had much luck searching the www for them! Does anybody know where I can find this out?
Cheers
Guy

I have a link to a site with this information somewhere - will try to find it.

Hello Guy,
I believe there is a comprehensive list of "Standard Wiring Colours" for cars in the Haynes "Automotive Electical and Electronic Systems" manual.
Thought i would mention it in case you already have it in your library - if you havn't, i'll borrow someone else's :D :D

Thanks for the info guys! I had already found the Lucas one and I have the Haynes manual already but neither lists the ISO colours! Back to the drawing board!

Is there really such a thing as an ISO standard wiring colour scheme? They all seem too irregular to be following any international standard!

I think Dave Watson has the best wiring standard - all wires in red....:D :D :D :D
