HD: Easy-to-use Wiring Diagrams now available for vintage sports car & motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Blackstone
Valley, RI - Baby-boomer Doug Jacobs works tirelessly to help his fellow
car and
motorcycle
enthusiasts. The problem, as he sees it, is that when a classic car or
motorcycle
experiences
an electrical problem, the wiring diagrams they are forced to turn to
can be more
work
than the wiring. These diagrams appear to be made for people who have
never heard an
optometrist say "reading glasses."
The 11” x 17” Color
Wiring Diagrams from Prospero's Garage were specifically created for car
and motorcycle
enthusiasts who, because they've crossed the four decade mark, can't
read
tiny factory
wiring diagrams. The type is small and the factory or other after-market
diagrams
are
rendered in black and white, while the car’s wiring loom exists in
Technicolor.
"I'll be the first to tell you, it wasn’t that big a
problem 25 years ago when I got in this business," says
Doug Jacobs, proprietor of
Prospero's Garage and once factory trained BMW motorcycle mechanic.
"It's not that the factory wiring
diagrams, or diagrams from aftermarket repair manuals have gotten
worse...it's just guys in their 40s and older can't read these things."
Doubling the size of a
diagram is great for older guys, but even more useful to the classic car
or
motorcycle
enthusiast of any age are three other features of the wiring diagrams
from Prospero's
Garage – Color, Legends and Lamination.
"Color. That's really one
of the hardest things for the shade tree mechanic. All those black
wires
run together
into a mess of electrical spaghetti. The factory manual will say a wire
is supposed to
be
'N/LGN’*, but what does that mean to the typical guy who does this for
fun? So I always use
the same colors on the wiring
diagram that you see on the wiring loom. It doesn't require
translation." *(brown wire with a light green tracer).
“Legends – or Lack of Legends. Every component on our
diagrams are labeled right there on
the page. Anyone whose done any
electrical de-bugging will tell you – tracing your way through
the wires, only to have to turn
back four pages to find out what component numbered “142”
actually is – well, it’s
infuriating. You’ve lost your place and now you have to hunt back
through
the mess to find it again.”
“Lamination. Big problem –
if you’re working on your car or bike, your hands are probably dirty.
If you’re using your original
copy, you can bet it’ll be useless after one or two sessions. Other guys
make 20 copies
of the black and white version so they can throw the dirty copy away.
Ours are
laminated
and are, essentially, permanent. Just don’t wrap it around a hot header
pipe.”
Sales have been brisk at British car shows, motorcycle
rallies, through enthusiast groups on the
Internet, and through online sales channels such as E-bay.
The wiring diagrams from
Prospero's Garage first started out as something to help out Mr. Jacob's
friends. "A
lot of guys I knew had recently acquired BMW Slash 5 motorcycles. A lot
of them
needed
help re-wiring. So I obtained some factory diagrams, and reworked them
so they could
be
usable." Before long, he began supplying them to other BMW motorcycle
enthusiasts, and
various BMW car club members.
Once the popularity of
their diagrams spread, Prospero's Garage started offering color-coded
wiring diagrams for many classic
Swedish, British, German, Italian and Japanese cars, BMW and
Harley Davidson motorcycles. They
are working constantly to expand the line – often the biggest
constraint relates to sourcing
the factory diagrams they use for source material. New offerings
for 1960’s and 70’s American
muscle cars are in the works, as well as an ever expanding line of
European & Asian classic sports cars – and even classic Toyota Land Cruisers and Ford Broncos!
