instrument wiring Plus 2 130 S

PostPost by: TomMull » Mon Sep 07, 2020 12:42 pm

I'm finally getting back to wiring the dash after a long COVID wait for the loom and other delays. Mine is a Plus 2 S 130.
I've bought a service manual Part # X050 T 1 0327Z of Sept 1974 reprinted 1982, from a Lotus dealer hoping that it would be satisfactory and not infringe on copyrights. All seemed good until I got deep into the electrical. My manual does not seem to contain a wiring diagram for the S model and it seems there are some quite significant differences with the S wiring. (My diagram is marked LS 135/2 and listed as March 68 to March 69 and my car is Feb 1970.) Here is an image of my non-S diagram:
scan wiring diagram.jpg and

So question 1 does anybody know where I can get a diagram for the S (1970 130 S Federal) but a non federal S diagram probably would do.

2. My dash harness from Autosparks seems to cover both the S and non S models if I've read their catalog correctly. It has a bunch of un-terminated wires which I hope will accommodate the S instruments. Can anyone verify that?

I can send you a copy but it's probably too large to post a good image here, PM me your Email address.

Also, there are 2 versions of the diagram, with or without alternator - which is yours?

I also have photos of the wiring on my 1970130/S but I can't guarantee that it's completely original. I'll attach them too.

Thanks very much Mike, I was getting a bit discouraged. Mine has an alternator, original I think.
I'll pm the address.

Sorry my mistake, my photos that I sent are of my 1970 +2S, not my 1972 130S

Mike, Perhaps I'm misguided with the 130 part. My car is a 1970 Plus2S, the 130 part my be just my ignorance. No worries anyway, the pictures you sent look like my dash.
Thanks also to mini90, I've sent you a pm.
