We will work on a project loom across the day, this loom design covers multiple build techniques and materials to maximise your learning.

Workshop Theory Topics

To reinforce your understand we will also cover the fundamentals of the following essential theory topics:

• Simple guide to planning and designing a wiring loom
• Making a basic pinout and layout sheet
• Guide to easy mocking up for good fit

• Essential rules for laying in CAN wires
• Order of assembly theory - overhead and checklist
• List of over sleeving methods theory – overhead
• Guide to suitable and common connector families
• How to select the appropriate wire gauge

Workshop Practical Exercises

The practical loom building will guide you through the following:

• Wire cutting and layout
• Creating a quality twisted pair
• Twisting and laying in a CAN wire pair
• Bundling and twisting techniques are covered as we draw the loom together before sleeving and wrapping with appropriate materials
• Defining and binding transitions with polyamide and fibre tape
• Fibre tape wrapping harness legs
• Heat sleeving a section of the loom and adding ‘glueline’ transitions
• Wire stripping and terminating several common connector types

If time permits at the end of the day we will aim to cover the basics of making high flexibility crimped battery cable assemblies.

For those looking at professional motorsport wiring please look at our pro wiring courses which work with aerospace wire and autosport style connectors.
