1955 Square 4 mk2 wiring diagram

[andrewneall]

Hi

My name is Andrew Neall and I live in Overstrand, North Norfolk. I have recently acquired a 1955 Square 4 Mk 2 and am currently checking the bike over, prior to a start up.

In a box of parts that accompanied the bike, I found an unopened plastic bag containing a wiring loom MC1032PB. The box also contained the remains of the original loom. Does anyone know if this is the correct loom for my bike? I found a diagram of a wiring loom on-line, diagram W2329A, it is dated October 1955. Unfortunately the colours of the wires on the diagram do not fully correspond with the actual colours of the loom.

My question - do I have the correct wiring loom and an incorrect diagram or do I have the correct diagram and an incorrect loom?

Any help would be gratefully received.

That loom is for a 1951-58 SQ4 so is correct for your bike. The PB suffix denotes a plastic tape bound one rather than a cloth bound one that Draganfly supply. Theirs come with a diagram for use with the loom, the manufacturer and other suppliers don't bother making one. I have sent you a copy by email.

Nice to hear of another Norfolk Ariel, Andrew. Do you have some pictures to share?

Hi Simon

Good to hear from you, it would be handy to be able to pick your brain, as I am feeling my way at the moment!
You may well know the bike. A previous owner was an Ariel Owners Club member, by the name of Geoffrey Dimmick, living in Scratby. It has passed through at least 3 further owners before me, the last owner had the bike resprayed black (rather well).
Geoffrey Dimmock fitted a Morgo oil pump and a Draganfly filter. He also fitted the Club Conrods and fitted new main bearings.
As far as I can tell, the bike has had little use over the past decade.

I acquired the bike largely complete, but I am going over the bike renewing or replacing parts as required.
