More OE Replacement Looms & Harnesses are coming!

As we continue to move forwards in our mission to make brand new, off the shelf replacement wiring looms for early Ford Falcon models, we are happy to announce a new release of sub-looms now available to purchase.

These are reproduced from original wiring, built as close as possible to colour, termination and finish of the original samples. All of our terminations are crimped and soldered for durability, and while some are plug and play, most of these will require threading through your firewall grommet if replacing in situ.

All of these looms are designed to replace old, damaged or rusted wiring in your Falcon and we have more sub-looms coming in the near future with our end of year aim to have 100% brand new off-the-shelf OE replacement looms that are as close to the originals as you can get!

XW-XY VDO Clock LED Stand-Off Mod

One of the biggest benefits of being the parts division of a restoration company is the fact we can use & modify our products in situ, giving us immediate feedback on products we develop and manufacture in house.

An example of this is our LED dash light replacement kits, which have had an amazing response. We’re often asked however, why we do not include replacement clock globes in our XW-XY & XA/XB kits and this is due to the poor design of the VDO clock itself (early XW Clocks with the pigtail can purchase our LED Clock Globe already).

As we all know, with a standard globe fitted, illumination is almost non-existent and upgrading this to an LED emits a little bit more light, however the output is still limited. So we did some R&D and designed a standoff and pigtail that made upgrading to an LED worthwhile. Manufactured in-house these stand-offs are designed to replace the original globe holder and are supplied with a green LED globe pre-fitted.

Simply undo the two nuts that hold the original holder in place and switch the holder to the new stand-off. As you can see from the photos (standard globe left, stand-off right), the results are chalk and cheese!

These units have been tried and tested for the last few months in-house and will be available in the coming weeks 🙂
