hi norm thanks for your reply , i have stripped back the tape wrapping on the loom today to get a better idea of what wires are re usable and most of what you explained are there to re use, there is a green wire from the ignition switch which has been cut off quite near to the starter motor could this be the trigger any clues on this one ? i think i have found the charging circuit wire, there is a little black box with a couple of wires going in & out of it with a red cable coming out with a stiff black protective sheath around it and then a male bullet connector on the end,which was taped up, do you know where this wire should connect to it does not seem to have been butchered, i have enclosed a photo of the area hope you can help many thanks kingy
