On the gearbox loom can anyone identify where the two wires that do not go to the gearbox reverse switch end up please, my loom only has two wires however all new looms have the 4 wires?

Not sure what loom you ordered, as these are the business ends of an original TR7 gearbox loom ...

If I am not mistaken the two extra wires are for the light in the automatic gearbox which the manual doesn't have/use.

Nowt to do with the auto box. The tr7/8 loom should only have 2 connections. Someone has sold you the loom off sonething else.

I've removed that type of harness off a couple of TR7 I've scrapped. I even still have one around here somewhere. What the extra wires are for I don't know or can't remember. But, the TR7 did come with that harness for some reason on some cars in the US.

Thanks Peter, I have connected the loom minus the two wires and all is fine. It was brought as a manual loom so didn't need any 'bypassing'.
