Hi my first post

I'm hoping someone can help me on this on just purchased a 350 wedge and she's a little unloved by her 14 previous owners to be fair the last guy has replaced the engine with a rover 3.5 running holley carburetor and all new fuel system

Anyway to the point the pods have no motors and just unplugged wire no brackets etc

I've managed to get a good set of TR7 pop ups complete and also a set of new old stock toyota motors I'm
Thinking going Toyota as the lucas appear in many laying on the floor stories but I'm really not sure about the wiring can any body give me an idiots guide to which wire goes where please

Would be really grateful

If your other contact fails to help I may be able to.
Let me know what wire colours you have in the pod area. Also I know of at least 2 different versions of the lift wiring. A clue maybe to let me know how many relays you have in the footwell.

The more complex version has:-
7 Fuses
8 Relays
3 Switches
2 Motors
6 Lamps
And that is only for the lights and does not include the switches and diodes in the motors.
