Rebuilding the whole wiring loom

[Neosophist]

So how many people now want a new wiring loom/harness for there 400?

you can still buy them from Honda but they are the best part of 200 quid.

out of curiosity how much did it cost in parts to make this one?

Be thankful the NC30 is only 'the best part' of £200... NC35 is the wrong side thereof!

A LOT and A LOT is at least twice the amount you just entered above

Yes I thought it would be very expensive, especially the generator wiring.

I think it is something you enjoy to do as a personal project, not to save money.

32100mr8900 (nc35) = 270gbp

32100mr8600 (nc30 UK) = 290bgp NLA

32100mr8000 (nc30 JDM) = 228gbp

On the contrary, the generator wiring was the cheapest. It only cost me 8 euros (the cost of the special resin). I already had a source for the generator wiring which cost me nothing. Nevertheless the generator wiring would not exceed 15 or 20 euros tops if i had to buy it.
The real cost was the harness wiring,which came up to 400plus euros and the connectors which they came up to 150euros.
An unbearable total cost that i do not encourage anyone take.
Above all, it was something i really enjoyed and learned A LOT (as you said Neo)

You can't really use that as an accurate costing. You had to buy the cable on reels, presumably 100m? There is no way you've used 100m of each colour. Maybe 5m max.

So, if you used 5m of each colour, which is still a very generous assumption, the cost of the cable was actually around 80 Euros

Approx £220 including vat but excluding shipping from CMS. However, the lead time may be ages if it's anything like my carb parts that came from them!

But you can, the reels that i bought where 25feet each. Note that you have to use at least 3 different gauges. I used 20awg 18awg 14awg and 12awg of several different colors.As the cable goes thicker the price goes up noticeably. I must also remind you that the cable used is teflon coated - silver plated strands. I already said that in the beginning.
Here is where i bought ALL the reels http://www.bulkwire.com ,you can do a little adding up and see that it comes up to that amount i mentioned above....if not more. If you still don't believe me i can send you proof that i did buy all of these reels.
An to help you, here are some notes that i kept in order to make no mistakes (double orders etc)
12 awg - 4 reels of 25 feet each (They are not sold in smaller quantities)
14 awg - 9 reels of 25 feet each
18 awg - 13 reels of 25 feet each
20 awg - 10 reels of 25 feet each.
Don't forget to add the shipping costs from the US too
Hope this helped

Well the Accurate cost of the wiring harness was ...... 667 Euros (Including postage from US)
I did the adding up for you from my order history.

So a major part of the cost is shipping then?
