Also the Fuse Box in the engine bay would not be configured for a BA alternator plug to plug in.New BF Alternator harnessSame as aboveHey mate just a quick question but why do the items I've quoted need to be replaced?How much was the complete engine bay harness and 2 side harness's?I agree that some of the parts may have been unnecessary, and the rhs/lhs wiring looms could probably have been modified to to work, but I have opted to make a complete transformation, to make my car to the same specs as an 04/2006 BF F6, and in doing so, keep things EXACTLY as they would be on that model vehicle.Thanks for the interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 08/01/07 08:32 AM Share Posted 08/01/07 08:32 AM What are the looms worth new, I have a ba xr8 shell I'd like to possibly do this to. It has had both fuse boxe's ripped out and needs a bit of work.I'd probally just pay my auto elec to fit it all as it's a bare shell, all that's left is the roof lining.

Considering the amount of wiring and plugs involved, I didn't consider the cost unreasonableGood luck with your project.My car is at Ford to get all the programmes loaded, so in the next day or so I hope to be driving it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
