Hi
Early cars (including Ulsters) didn’t have ‘looms’ as such but ran individual wires around the body.
I found Woodrow’s wiring diagrams helpful when I wired my short wheelbase special (and my RK). However on the Special I ran earth wires to all the ancillaries such as lights, horns etc.
These early cars had no real fuse box. So for brake, indicators, rev counter, ancillaries (12 volt fag lighter) I mounted a fuse box just in front of the passenger seat. Taking a power lead directly off the battery (under the passenger seat) allows a neat, accessible installation of all these later modifications without cluttering up the back of the dash too much!
I used modern wires where they didn’t show and aluminium sheathed where they did.
Hope this helps?
