Just chassis loom If I can get away with using whats on Bulkhead.

To be honest, the smart move is to spend the money.
I've rewired using cable, and it's fine, but I know my way around a series loom. There's a lot to be said for learning about electrics by doing, but at the end of the day a new loom, correctly coded and coloured, is a joy to work on.

That is what I would do. Just buy a new one and fit it. Quite easy if you are building a vehicle from a chassis.
And gets you 20 years or more of trouble free motoring, without wondering if your motor is going to catch fire or grind to a halt.

These have a good reputation and shorter lead time than Autosparks
Shop • The Wiring Harness Company
Thought you where trying to do this on a budget?
Is there no old harnesses amongst your mates stash of parts?

There does look like there's one sticking out of knackered 109 chassis but it looks hacked to bits, gonna try and dig it out this weekend to see what it's like

Engine bay end should be fine as in the dry.
If this loom is going into an 88” you should have plenty of slack to remake the ends.
Just check loom with either a multi meter or working light

You need more than 4 cables in a loom.standard loom is inside the chassis.
Indicator left
Indicator right
Brake light
Side lights
Earth
Fog light(unsure of your year)
Fuel gauge (you may also need low level light)
I always run an earth so you are not relying on body/chassis
Use either a 7 core or 13 core supplied from caravan/trailer places this allows you other options in the rear

Might try the 13 core, then as you say will have plenty left for other options.
Sometehing like this sounds a lot better then 200 quid plus for a made up loom 13 core euro cable for caravan & trailer electrics (westerntowing.co.uk)
Then again someone or something might change my mind, its easy done

That looks good. & 5 of the cores are a larger size.Might try the 13 core, then as you say will have plenty left for other options.

Getting it through the chassis isn't a joy, it's a fecking pain in the arris ...

Just hope I will be able to match up to correct wires in bulkhead. then still not sure about a fuse box ect.
Ive gotten one through a defender once, was not to bad actually, cant see the series been much different.
