Hi kids!!😀. Hope we all had a great Christmas and a happy New Year :drunk:
Got off my backside tonight and decided to bolt in the new pedal box and the Hydratec booster and master cylinder. Still have to bleed it (that will be fun) :rol:

Easy just remove individual wires from the plugs & untangle a large board on top of a couple of garbage bins measure out what is required then put nails in board then lay loom up on board.Solder joints,Use heat shrink & stagger all your joints. If you can get an old loom out of a Hq - Hj holden you can utilise some of wires & crimp ends some plugs are the same, colour code is pretty much the same. I used a premier loom for headlights on my 78. Just untapped & relayed it up how I wanted it

Jeez...talk about getting caught up in my own world. Didn't even think about HQ/WB wiring looms as spare parts :lol:
I was just frustrated with shortening the loom (Back to original lengths from the extended version from RHD conversion) and having to solder so many different wires. I am short some plugs and yes as you say, "the HQ/WB would be very similar"....thank you for the tip :thumb:

Have a look at posting 23 here
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-general/1945352-anyone-have-a-pdf-of-a-1970-bb-cpe-wiring-diagram-2.html#post1564233097
I have that coloured diagram and have been using it. I also got my assembly manual and photo copied the diagram and sticky taped about 8 A4 sheets to create one large diagram.
Then I found the one above! Lol! Exactly the same.

The one in colour is handy.
 I made up a loom today to make the installation of the speedo/tachometer dash section easier.
not that you need a schematic for that little mod

It's not that the job is difficult it's just that I have never eyeballed a standard loom so just flying blind, coupled with the fact that some plugs are missing, the loom a little butchered and not sure if I have the lengths correct. I am going up tonight to shorten the dash globes. Some of them also need replacement due to the retainers being broken. So that just means that that job won't be totally finished; and thats were the frustration lies!

Yes the metal section pulls out of the plastic , I have glued a few back together just a little silastic will work leave for a few days to cure.
Or Dorman 85805 will work. The fitting out of a HR Holden dash will work as well
If you need the two,wire  one of the  top middle of the tachometer I haven’t need one of those so have not looked of one
The bulbs are BA9 size  , if you want to go to LED there are holder options  for the T5 bulb .
I’ll take a photo tomorrow of the rear of my dash .
