martyn wright Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi All! Is the wiring Loom the same as on the MK2 Vitesse? Cheers martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 MK2 dash switch positions are quite different and 1600 is unlikely to have a gauge voltage stabiliser as gauges are moving iron not thermo bimetal much is similar but will need improvising in odd places MK1 2ltr would be closer as same dash as 1600 and is your 6 with rev counter and seperateauges or speedo and integral gauges makes more small variations Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn wright Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi All! Update: Went on Ebay and found a chap called "Nick" who makes Coloured Circuit Diagrams(Clear Plastic Coated) for easy wipe clean! (£10) plus postage. Sent him a copy of the 1600/6 Circuit to compare against His copy of the Mk2 Circuit and it was "Slightly Different"(Nicks shows the path and names the Dials etc) to the Mk1 1600 Vitesse.

dave.vitesse Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Not counting the export models there are three versions of the loom in the Vitesse 6. The very early version, May 1962-Early 1963, had no fuses and a single dial. There is a lack of information concerning these very early cars. The second version, Early 1963-July 1963, had fuses but a single gauge. The third versions, July 1962-Oct 1966 has fuses and four gauges. Comparison with the 2 Litre - Pete has covered the change in gauges, thanks Pete. The other considerations are a change in the brake light switch as operating from the brake line to operating off the brake pedal. Also the control box on the 2 Litre is mounted under the dash left hand side and not in the space in front of the A post - Between the A post and the front bulkhead. There is also reversing light wiring in the 2 Litre loom. I think that is it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi Dave! The Control Box on my 1600/6 is also under the Dash on the Left! And I have a full length Loom Front to Rear? Cheers Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
