I finally started working on the SV. It's now minus its' clothes and parked up in the garage. Time to remove the alarm and install the new wiring loom.
Being the cautious type I thought I'd start by comparing the new loom with the old before ripping things out. I started at the headstock and worked my my way down and all was well until I got to the area near the ECU. The new loom has an extra component, looks like a high power resister encapsulated in ceramic and on a mounting plate. None of my fiches or manuals show this part, so I suspect I have a loom from a much more recent SV.
I can't workout where this bracket mounts, there are no holes nearby that match up and it's on a short cable so it has to be near to the main loom. The other concern is that this component is there for a reason and my ECU might not be compatible. So even though I could bodge a fixing, I might cause my self hassle elsewhere. Grrr! This loom was sold to me a 2004 item. It clearly isn't and it looks too clean. It must be off a later machine.
Grateful for any suggestions.
John

It should go here somewhere. The arrow shows where the connection for this should be on the old loom, but nowt there.
