Cable harness New construction | Repair | Customisation
Wiring loom damage is common. Thus, we regularly come across fused wiring against, sometimes by hot engine parts and sometimes by short circuit. Or a wiring harness locally damaged by a accident. But also consider, for example martens and mice biting through the protective insulation or wires.
What also often occurs are local wire breaksespecially in the case of moving parts such as the transition from the body to the boot lid.
In some cases, the wiring is still professional repair, so that you do not have to pay an enormous sum for a completely new wiring harness. A wiring harness that is often no longer available.
Are you looking for a new wiring harness for your classic car or motorbike? In many cases, we can for your classic vehicle Create a completely new wiring harness (set) that will last you a long time on the road.
Is there a failure in your classic wiring or does your wiring harness have a repair needed? We can also solve that for you.
Also tailor-made additions are among the possibilities. Think of extra lighting, a ground lock, starter relay, alternator, coolant temperature gauge, voltmeter etc.
We can also install the wiring harnesses and any additions for you.
Are you in possession of a youngtimer? Often complex plugs were used in youngtimers which are no longer available. The good news is that these wiring looms are often not that worn out yet. restoration of the existing tree can be a good and economical choice.
In the case of a wiring harness restoration, we restore the tree to peak condition. We clean all plug housings thoroughly. As do the contact pins and cable lugs so that they make good contact again. Bad wires and contact pins be replaced and the wiring harness gets completely new linen or pvc insulation tape. Also, the replace insulation. This can be a ribbed insulation or PVC insulation sleeve. A restored tree looks as good as new again and will last a long time without problems.
If your wiring harness is a local disturbance or defective then we can repair. Maybe your existing wiring is still good and you just want to provide it with new insulation. We can take care of that too.
Do you have a towbar but you can't figure out the wiring? We will solve it for you.
Oldtimers are not always in their original state. For example, there are various options which are sometimes added later, such as a 12 Volt Alternatora starter relay, additional meters and sensors, LED lighting, additional lighting such as spotlights, a 3rd brake light, additional hornsa radio, heating and so on. Many wiring harness jobs require customization. If you have extra wishes for your classic car, we can take care of that for you.
There's also the occasional towbar I bought one that fits the oldtimer or youngtimer. The assembly of the towbar is often easy but as soon as the electrical wires need to be connected, things go wrong. We make sure that the wiring of your trailer hitch is properly connected to the wiring on your car.
In older vehicles often thin main / battery cables used. This creates resistance in the cable which poor start, a low voltage and Bad charging of the battery as a result. Especially after many years, when you also get problems with transition resistance due to corrosion, this will cause problems.
For all (older) vehicles we can provide new, thicker and well-insulated customised battery cables make. For a good passage of the current without voltage loss is at 12 Volt a thickness of 25 mm² wanted. At 6 Volt this is already 35 mm².
Upgrading your existing battery cables has the following benefits:
Battery cable sets can be supplied with battery terminal clamps.
Ton Schram, my father, has an enormous dose experience when it comes to the electricity in the Citroën Traction Avant is going. For over 45 years He works on the Traction. Ton has seen it all in the electrical field. More than 300 Tractions has provided Ton with a new wiring harness.
For the Citroën Traction Avant we supply all conceivable wiring looms for all types and ages, 100% new and ready to install. We use the original colour coding. Have components been added to your electrics over the years? Customised adjustments are no problem for us. Think for example of extra lighting on the bumper, horns or other adjustments.

For 15 years I, Jesper, have been the proud owner of a Peugeot 205 CTI 1.9 from 1993 (phase 2). Over the years, I have always been tinkering with the 205. I have since completely restored my 205. Everything has been addressed. The chassis, a new D6B engine with gearbox, new interior, Sonneland hood, stainless steel exhaust line etc.
New wiring harnesses, of course, could not be left out. Since I grew up with the construction of wiring harnesses, which my father made for Tractions, I was able to pass on this knowledge to the 205. The technology is a bit newer again, which you notice by the addition of plugs, which were still cable eyes on classics.
I then removed the ECU engine wiring harness, the headlight wiring harness from the fuse box, the 7-pin phase 2 sensor wiring harness which is linked to the ECU tree, the 205 taillight wiring harness phase 2, the wiring harness to control the cooling fans and the 205 phase 2 battery cable set newly built.
I am now happy to help other 205 owners get back on the road by building new or restored wiring harnesses.
Are your wiring harnesses in the 205 also in need of replacement? I can restore these to perfection. I take the wiring harness completely apart and inspect it. Everything is cleaned and stripped of corrosion. Bad wires, cable lugs and plugs are replaced with new original where necessary. The wiring harness is re-taped and given new ribbed insulation. The result, your wiring harness looks like new again and will last long trouble-free.
Ready-made wiring looms for the Peugeot 205 you can also here in our webshop.
Prefer a complete new build wiring harness in your 205? We can take care of that too. For more information, please feel free to contact us for the possibilities.

Wiring harnesses wear out with age. Contact pins, lug nuts, plugs, connecting eyes, earth points, they all face wear, rust and corrosion. The copper wires with wire breaks. Tape lets go and insulation degrades.
Wear and tear on the wiring harnesses eventually cause annoying disruptions in your vehicle's electrical circuitry. Unsafe situations such as fire due to short circuits can also occur.
Wire breaks and resistance in the electrical circuit, all kinds of annoying disruptions such as:
When wire harnesses age wears out the insulation. This insulation serves as protection so that the copper of the vein not in touch comes with the other vein or the body. This is called short circuiting.
Once the buyer of a + and - wire or body touch each other, a short circuit occurs that can cause dangerous situations. When such a short circuit occurs, a very high power through the wire. In doing so, you not only run the risk of losing your electronic components blows up. There is also a chance that you car in flames goes up.
These days, cars have fuses which in such a case are immediately destroyed and the circuit is broken. Older cars often have no or hardly any fuses which means that a fire in the event of a short circuit is no exception.
Wear, corrosion and resistance in a vehicle's wiring creates faults which are sometimes continuous, but mostly sporadic are. Think of plugs and wires that sometimes make contact and sometimes don't. It makes the ride anything but reliable.
Often, faults are solved by pulling additional wires that solve the problem for a short time. Over time, in practice, it frequently causes a tangle of (unnecessary) wires which makes fault-finding increasingly difficult.
SKS carries extra care to reliability. We always fit our wiring harnesses with heat shrink tubing between each connection from copper to cable lug. This provides a very reliable and long service life which minimises wear and tear and the risk of short circuits.
With a restored or new wiring harness, you can get back on the road worry-free, at least in terms of electrics.
While for some people the most important thing is that the car is safe and reliable on the road, for others the most important thing is that it is safe and reliable on the road. looks at least as important. And yes, such an old wiring harness is not a pretty sight. Especially when you have just restored your classic or youngtimer.
SKS distinguishes by additional eye to have for the finishing. This not only provides a high reliability, also giving a zclean and neat look of the wiring harness in your vehicle.
With us, you can be sure that your cabling will have a new lease of life. is pleasing to the eye. The wiring harness can be finished with various black linen tapes, braided heatshrink tubing for a genuine classic look or with the more common PVC tape. As additional insulation, PVC insulating sleeving and/or ribbed pipe are among the options.
Mounting of various gauges such as oil pressure, cooling temp, voltmeter 6 Volt or 12 Volt etc.
Additional additions to your wiring such as turn signals, (LED) lights or installation of e.g. a ground lock, starter relay or alternator.
Do you have a nasty electrical problem? We will solve the problem for you.
With more than 45 years of experience in the electrics of the Citroën Traction Avant And having completely rewired more than 300 Tractions, we have seen it all before.
For the Citroën Traction Avant we supply all conceivable wiring looms for all types and ages, 100% new and ready to install. We use the original colour coding. Custom modifications are possible, for example for extra lighting on the bumper, horns or other adjustments.
We also have an enormous amount of experience when it comes to fitting the Traction Avant with a 6 or 12 Volt alternator, a ground lock, a starter relay or extra instruments. Even a complete conversion to 12 Volt is possible. Do you prefer LED lighting or an extra 3rd brake light? We can install that for you. Is your starter motor or dynamo worn out? We can overhaul it for you.
With this main stream battery cable set for the Peugeot 205 CTI / GTI replace the old worn-out cables between the alternator, starter motor, battery, small fuse box, engine block and body. The set can also be used for several other Peugeot 205 models. As long as the starter motor and dynamo are on the same place.
The battery cable set is an instant upgrade to your current main power cables. Current batteries require at least 14 Volts for a good charge. The old main cables give too much resistance because they are very thin. Especially over time, the core wears out and corrosion occurs, which only makes the problem worse. Because of this, you will never reach 14 Volts. Especially when you turn on (heavy) power consumers such as your lights or fan, the voltage collapses completely. With these cables, that is a thing of the past.
Advantages of our new 205 battery cable set:
Available for Peugeot 205 phase 1.5 and phase 2. Looking for battery cables for Phase 1? Then please contact us.
The battery cable set for the Peugeot 205 with TU engine can be found here.
