Has anyone got a picture please Of the layout of the wiring loom in the cab of a lhd bay This is where I am at the moment
I think VW just pulled the relay/fuse box up, screwed it on and let the cables fall where they wanted to.
Any idea what size/type of screws the fuse box uses? Mine was removed many years ago and I’ve lost the screws.
Looks like I’ll be having to buy some mixed boxes of screw’s because I’m bound to be needing more for other things
Yeah I bought a box of mixed stainless for all the odd bits like the front vent screws, track covers etc.
Parts book says they are p/n N0139612. Oval head panel screw 3.9 x 13. It's nothing special, just a self tapper used for other things on the bus, JK will sell you them for silly money.
That looks about right to me! Happy to take some pictures of my LHD wires insitu, but I don't think it will help much.
This ^^^ Don't overthink it , couple of self tappers and job done Don't forget , most of the wiring drops behind the kick boards or is hidden by the dash.. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
@paradox, some pictures of my mess for you, looking at the photos I will definitely be doing a tidy up when my dash comes out. But until that point, if it ain't bust.....(78 American with egr and Cat originally installed) Correct thread this time..doh
Mine needed the next size up self tapper one end as it had worked loose. The basic wiring approach is to go to the point of termination, then loop the wire behind the metal strip tabs around the place, with big loops to miss moving things like vent flap mechanism and the top of the handbrake lever ( or not on my bus ..) Imagine you are on a low salary, bored out of your skull, missing family in Ankara , go through the motions. This will result in a stock finish. If the wire is inside sleeving it's often meant to be somewhere a bit visible like the bundles going to the steering column
The bracket that connects to the top of the steering column then bolts to the top of the fresh air box Does some of the wiring run above that or does it all run below it?
Dashboard switch wiring goes above the crumple bar thing, sleeved wiring to steering column switches clips underneath it..
take a wiring plan, print it several times e.g. in size A3 and put it in step by step... I made a lot of photos of mine at disassembling for easier find the right places and routes and add some marks at the ends helped me a decade ago: https://www.vw-t2-bulli.de/data/restoration/restoration06.html
If you find a complete wiring diagram that you want printed, PM me and I'll print it out HUUUGE for you. Makes it much easier to follow and you can stick it on the wall for reference.
