Wiring loom- fitting a replacement help !

I have a second hand loom which I am going to use to replace the mess in my car ( single core copper wire?!?!)

Anyway, It all looks like it was taken out very carefully , and is in good, clean nick with all of the original bullet tips intact, so all god so far.

The loom I have is in three parts, but I cant work out a logical place for anything to be able to identify what section is what area etc.
Even the heavy duty red wires are randomly spaced all over !

Any body have any tips? :(

Hi
I dont recall the loom being in three parts or is it one really big part and a couple of odd bits, the long bit with nothing poking out goes down the spine in its own channel and you should be able to spot the fuse box as lots olf wires with soldered ends terminate together , to fit it you kind of start behind the dash and pull the rear part down the tunnel and out the back and then the front section down its little tube and out the front , to do this its necessary to pull the separate wires down flat against the main loom and tape the down so they don't catch and rubber grease or wd40 may help you pull it through , you should be abl to get a colour wiring diagram off the internet ,I think Dr White is your man , and are you certain its a 356 loom you have as they are really very basic .
