Does your wiring supposed to look like this! Now mind you my color tags may not be accurate as I am color blind and these wires are 47 yrs old.
Looks as though someone rewired to use the tank metering cap as the ground for the car. Everything in the rear of the cockpit leads back to it.
Thankfully there was very little gas in the tank so it came along quietly.
No way of saving the rear body mounts so they were cut off. Had the grind disk break loose and fly past my face to the back of the garage. That could have been ugly.
Found these seat belt mounts in rear wheel wells to be the last to cut free and now the body can be lifted off frame. Anyone out there have a weight on the stripped body shell?
Suscribe or check back with us from time to time to view our progress, comment, or offer any advise you may have on what to do and not to do during our project. Thanks for viewing and happy motoring. Jonathan A. and Jonathan F.
There are many, many wiring diagrams posted on the internet for 2500M’s and on the TVRCCNA site. It seems that no 2 were wired the same. If you can’t find them let me know, I down-loaded most of them. While there seemed to have been a plan to use color coded wire. It appears that they had to use substitution, so don’t make the assumption that a wire that starts as a specific color on one end will be the same color at the other end. The British standard for the most part is power leads are brown and grounds are black. There is some other standardization, mine followed this closely:
