You could always buy some wire and connectors and make your own. Strip out the old loom and use as a pattern. Take a bit of time but it's not that difficult. Reasonably good documentation in the manual....

You can still get the genuine terminals if you want to patch in the bits of your loom that still work. They're called Lucas 4.7mm "brass bullet" connectors and were pretty standard on all British cars up until about 1980.

Get the solder bullets and a decent iron. You can get the single and double couplers fairly easily. The doubles let you connect 4 wires together.

Next for me is a rewire aswell. I was reading another forum where a guy makes his own from 7 core trailer wire going to each corner then heavier stuff for the starter etc. He also seems to run wired earths rather than using the chassis - i quite like that principle.

Yep it was not so expensive but I find one here in Belgium for 350 euro the whole harness and autosparks was i guess something around the 450 euro without sending cost
