Safety and Security

A high-quality battery cut-off switch is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your classic. It offers three key benefits:

• Immobilisation — secure your vehicle when unattended
• Preservation — prevent battery drain during storage
• Protection — instantly cut power and fuel delivery in the event of a fire or emergency

When it comes to safeguarding your classic, there is no better investment.

Loom Overhaul

In most cases, original wiring looms can be saved and often prove superior to modern replacements. Our experience shows that around 90% of degradation occurs within the last few centimetres before each connection. By re-terminating these ends rather than replacing the entire loom, we restore reliability while preserving originality.

The results are transformative: safer, more dependable electrics with a noticeably improved appearance. We can also re-wrap the loom with fresh protective tape, giving it a cleaner finish and added durability

Whilst not a small under taking, a loom overhaul is far more cost-effective than a full replacement and avoids unnecessary disturbance to the rest of the vehicle.

Replacement Wiring Looms

While new wiring looms can be purchased for only a few hundred pounds, fitting them is a far greater undertaking, often running into the thousands. Looms are among the very first components installed into a bare shell, routed through hidden areas that are difficult to access once the car is built.

Replacing one requires significant disassembly, followed by careful reinstallation and testing. To complicate matters further, new looms are supplied “bare,” meaning every termination must be completed, a process that can take a full day and hundreds of pounds in consumables.

For these reasons, replacement looms are usually a last resort undertaken only after an electrical fire or as part of a full restoration where the car is already stripped down.
