Anyone that's done the 1.6 vitara 8 v conversion in a 410, can you please assist. I am trying to wire up the ignition barrel but I am unsure what wires go to it. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I am using the 1.3 Spanish Sammi wiring loom with a 410 barrel. Many thanks, Eddie :D

Thanks for that diagram Darrell ;) Looking at all the ones I have and that diagram, I have these wires: Black with a yellow tracer, yellow with a green tracer, a white with a yellow tracer and a brown with a blue tracer which is slightly thicker than the rest. All the ones in that diagram apart from the brown and blue wire :S

Looking at the full diagram for the spanish switch the index does not even list a BYG wire colour ,so who knows what that is.
Sounds like it should be the brown/blue as the others match :er:

Ace !! Thanks again Darrel !!! ;) :D On the actual barrel does it matter which of four contacts I solder the wires onto ? I'm not going to use the connector block, just solder the wires straight onto it :)

I'm a bit confused? Why have you swapped the wiring loom for a 1.3 loom?

I would also advise using the connector block, makes life a lot easier if the steering column or barrel ever need to come off in future.

I wanted the 413 dash, as I have plans for a new control panel and will look better on that than the 410 :) Will bare that in mind with the connector block. There's four points on the ignition barrel where the wires go does it matter which one goes where ?

Fair enough, tbh I prefer the 410 dash, you should have been able to keep the 410 loom easily enough though, the Spanish wiring loom and fuse box is horrible :lol:

Yes it does matter where the wires go, they have to be in the correct place.

Ha, I did too until I saw some pictures of others 413 dash. I'm going to swap all the original switches to toggles too :lol: I may of been able to keep the 410 loom but that would of involved more re-wiring and I've got a head ache with just this ! Ha. How do I work out which ones go where ?

Have you already removed the original wires from the ignition switch?
