So, I am in the process of re-wiring the car (1995 SPI with a carb motor in it) It has ran well but the wiring was a complete mess.
The previous owner(s) bodged the loom so bad that it was best to gut it all and start fresh 

I was advised from Minispares to pick up the following loom https://www.minispar...c/YMC11428.aspx

All is going well but I have come across a small issue. the connector to the rear loom for the SPI loom is naturally different to the connector for the carb loom. 
I have already pieced out the wire for the fuel pump which will be going onto a separate switch on the dash because race car.

What I'm looking for, I don't fancy having to order a rear loom (I will if it is easier) but I was wondering if I can convert it to work with the new loom that I have ordered.

If you need any more information to try help me sort this then please don't hesitate to ask :) 

TIA
Zach.

You can, just fit a new connector with the appropriate number of pins (minus the fuel sender wires, so you can use the split as your connection to the tank wire)
