Vitesse MK 1 wireing loom

[Jonathan Saunders]

Currently rebuilding a nut and bolt resto on my Vitesse. Does anyone know of a routing diagrame that shows the loom and exactly where it runs in the body. None of my workshop manuals has any layout.

I doubt if you'll find a wiring diagram that shows the route, but it's simple enough, if the Vitesse is anything like the Herald - along the rear of the dash, down into the passenger footwell and along the groove in the floorpan, under the middle floor reinforcement and up the inside of the B post, then across the rear wheelarch. There are clues everywhere with grooves and metal securing clips to hang it from in the rear wings. If you need photos I'm sure we can oblige!

Thanks Colin . Worked out the rout to the rear. Can you confirm is the rout to front from the fuse box is across the bulk head behind the heater and then onto the chassis to the front via the bonnet tipping bar.

Goes along the passenger, left, side engine valence to the front via bonnet bar. Nothing behind the heater some wiring to solenoid and starter runs across the top front of the transmission tunnel below the front of the heater.

Update the brake pipe from the master cylinder runs behind the heater.

My car is a 68 Mk1 2L if some pictures would help.

Ok thanks for help everyone. Because the loom clips were missing from the chassis it was not obvious but after some trial and error it’s in place now. Just need to drill and fix some loom clamps to hold it in place.
