Vans Wiring Loom (Read 3380 times)

Rob Dobney RV Moderator Posts: 444 Gender:	Vans Wiring Loom 23.09.2009 at 15:40:43 Hi all Has anyone used the Vans supplied wiring loom for a rear mounted battery installation? If so is it any good? We're planning on Dynon EFIS as well as the usual other electrics so not sure if it's suitable. Cheers

But did buy wiring kit - and used as my design - as cable/wire was cheaper this route. Especially if included with other parts shipment. Tim

Me too... I bought the kit it makes for a good basic loom. You have to remember that every electrical Installation varies for each builder’s needs/ requirements.
It’s easy to modify/ add on for your own application. It also comes with the main Engine cables assembled

I have a DVD for basic electrical installation on kit aircraft... It’s very basic (as American instructional videos are) but has some good tips and information for a beginner.
If you want to have a look at it , send me you address via the forum messages and I will mail it over to you.

Regards
Mark
