Braiding tracer colours for a 1964 1275 S

[steveg3731]

Hi all - I'm getting bits together to restore a 1275 S - 1964.
I'm in Australia and want to get the loom made locally after having problems with my GTM loom I bought from the UK.
I know the 1071 was a double white and single blue tracer in the weaving, but can anyone tell me what a 1275 would have had.
Can find no reference to anything on the web
regards and Merry Christmas to all

If it is a dry car I'm pretty sure it is the same loom

Eager to help, but I don''t think that you have given us nearly enough info to even start to answer the question......

Hello Steve,
Have you had a chat with Bygone Spares and Restorations in WA.
He seems very knowledgable and lists his reproduction wiring looms for minis by chassis numbers.

What’s left of my April 1967 S original loom has a single light blue, almost silver, tracer.

My car was a Canadian delivered 1275 S, August 1966 build with what I believe is the original wiring harness. It has a single yellow tracer.

A Cooper and not an S originally then Steve? That would make a difference. I dug out an old early 64 (Pre Hydro) S loom, and can confirm that it is the blue tracer version. BTW the double stripes are yellow not white, but they certainly fade to that in places.

The one from Auto Sparks shows it well:

The early car looms have detail differences, mostly to do with the key start. Here's a link to the options:

Definitely a "S" - 9FSaY number for the engine and 1964 - not 1962

Just realised I put in 1962 - it was 1964 - doh

AAAhhhhhhhh

In that case the blue tracer type with two yellows is what's required, at least it is in the UK cars.
