Mark,

If your loom is original type cotton covered rubber insulation, take a careful look at it because the rubber will deteriorate over time and it can crack and crumble or go into a sticky mess. I have just had a harness made for a vehicle here in England, with modern pvc cable with a replicated cotton outer with correct colour traces. This will now last the rest of the life of the vehicle. Better be safe than sorry.
