PV Wiring photos

red122 · Feb 4th, 2022, 07:52

I am putting a new loom in to a 1962 PV544 B18 .
Unfortunately the car came to me with no existing wiring and the new loom is a little difficult to know which connections go where in places .
I am looking for any photos showing the wiring to the generator /dynamo and the relay for same . Also the back of the switchgear and speedo area along with the correct routing for the headlamp looms.
Any photos would be really helpful or if anyone has a standard car in the south east that i could photo that too would be a great help

Thank you

The relay position on the firewall is usually easy to find because the holes in the metal line up with the box.

Essentially the wiring comes the firewall and runs down the front leg of the chassis-like out rigger towards the front of the car. At the point at which the wiring emerges through the bulkhead the wiring for the dynamo splits from the loom and wanders off towards the centre(ish) of the vehicle where the box for the regulator hides.

I'll have a look through my pictures for you of how my car was before I stripped it to component parts but I wouldn't hold out much hope as despite the gigabytes of photographic material I made of the vehicle I suspect that that crucial bit of information will be missing...

Here are some photos of mine, never been apart, but a few wires extra, for overdrive and reverse lamp.

And another. I hope these are of some help. Let me know if you need any more.
Regards, Andy.

On this forum at least I often find there is nothing much more helpful than having a good "Old Fart"

There are some bulkhead picture posted by Arcturus from when he had his wiring fire. Shows before and afterwards plus restored. You will have to scroll back quite a bit unless he comes along and posts links or reposts.
