NOTE: Extreme rear overhang may encourage
unacceptable loading conditions, which could
unload the front axle producing unacceptable
handling and braking characteristics
NOTE: When extending the length of the
wheelbase during conversion, do not increase
the overall length more than 50% of the
wheelbase of the donor vehicle. The maximum
legal overhang of the donor vehicle is 60%.
If a conversion requires more than 50% overhang,
please contact one of the below.
NOTE: For further information please contact
your local National Sales Company representative,
or Local Ford Dealer. If they are unable to help
you then please contact the Vehicle Converter
Advisory Service at [email protected].

1.14.2 Recommended Nominal
Body Lengths for Chassis Cab
models
The following is the recommend method for
selecting best fit body lengths to suit the Chassis
Cab range, dependant on the load biases of the
conversion
Body lengths shown in the following charts are
given for guidance only, based on a minimum
specification chassis including driver, spare wheel
and full fuel. In the case of Uniformly Distributed
Load (UDL) figures the combined body and
payload Center of Gravity (CofG) is positioned
midway along the internal length of the body.
Body lengths are given as Nominal or Maximum.
Under most conditions the nominal body length
is recommended, maximum body length should
only be used when a nominal length body cannot
accommodate a specific load length requirement.
CAUTION: When considering
maximum length bodies, payload
latitude and flexibility will be reduced
as the available rear axle capacity
is used to the full. Non Uniformly
Distributed Load (UDL) loads that
are rearwards biased, should not be
used with maximum length bodies.
In order to achieve the largest load latitude
nominal (rearward biased) body lengths are the
primary recommendation. However recognizing
each body and its associated payload will have
an infinite number of CofG positions, in addition
to the large number of chassis specifications, it
is recommended that the chassis kerb weight
and plated weights are determined before a
weight distribution calculation is performed.
Chassis specification is assumed minimum with
base engine and drivetrain, any additional
equipment or alternative drivetrain's may reduce
the body length. It is recommended that physical
Chassis kerb weights are established to calculate
weight distribution when ever a body length
greater than nominal is considered.
Bodywork longer than the nominal dimension
may require a rear overhang extension with the
repositioning of the rear light bar and extension
electrical supply circuits. Body floor height may
require an increase in height to accommodate
angle of vision requirements for rear light and
license plate.
430 derivatives are fitted with a rear under-run
bar, modification of the rear overhang may
invalidate approvals, consult your local National
Sales Representative before considering
modification.

4.9.1 Radio Connector
Multimedia head units (Audio and Navigation) are
connected to the instrument panel wiring via the
Fakra connector see below diagram E74493
NOTE: There is a co-axial cable (green) for the
roof - mounted AM/FM antenna, and depending
on the vehicle, a thin co-axial cable (black) for a
Global Positioning System antenna.
NOTE: Power for Radio - do notswitch the
permanent battery feed (KL 15) and ignition feed
(KL 30) on the radio connection. The ignition feed
15 is only used to 'wake up' the radio.

4.11.3 Lamps – Hazard / Direction
Indication
The maximum permissible load with the standard
system is:
•3 x 21W – front and rear indicators + side
repeaters (Left Hand Side)
•3 x 21W – front and rear indicators + side
repeaters (Right Hand Side)
That is:- 63W per side maximum.
4.11.4 Lamps – Front and Rear
Fog Lights
National Regulations regarding inter-connection
with other front and rear fog lights must be
checked before designing the wiring circuit.
For trailer tow for rear fog lighting relating to that
system.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Electrics for Tow bar)
4.11.5 Lamps for Wide Vehicles
Lamps – End outline and side marker
lamps
All Chassis Cab vehicles are fitted with front
marker lamps on the cab roof as standard, less
roof marker lamps they are optional. Where
additional side marker lamps and rear outline
marker lamps are required to comply with local
regulations, access to the appropriate signals
may be obtained from the licence plate lamps.
A special jumper link is available for this purpose
from the local Ford dealer.
The maximum permissible load with the standard
system is:
NOTE: For various vehicles Cat 6 repeater
lamps must be fitted. See legislation for full
details.
•6 x 5W – side marker
•2 x 5W – end outline marker
•2 x 5W – Cat 6
•2 x 4W – roof marker

WARNING: Do not tamper with the

from the associated wiring or
controller.
NOTE: These options are not suitable for
aftermarket or Body Builder fit.

4.14.2 Engine Run Signal (D+ Alternative)
Give Away Engine-run Signal Connector (Passenger side)
WARNING: Do not cut into the
alternator wires or use the alternator
as a source to obtain a 'D+ Signal'
The Engine Run Signal will only support the basic
vehicle system.
Vehicles built from August 2006 will have a
suitable ‘give-away’ connector (6.3mm flat blade
receptacle) in the main vehicle harness. This is
located on the passenger side and can be
accessed by dropping the glove box.
Most early-build vehicles do not have this
connector. In such instances, for engine run (C4-7
on the central Junction Box), there is a dedicated
terminal (pin 16) on the passenger-door loom /
main loom in-line connector available to energize
a relay (maximum one (1) relay). A T-piece
harness (6C1V-14A411-F*) is available from your
Local Ford Dealer to fit between the door / main
loom in-line connector. If the vehicle does not
have this fitted as a factory-fitted option
(campers, for example, do have this pre-fitted),
one way to install this is:
•Remove the passenger side mirror on the
using a long-reach M8 socket (note: right hand
drive vehicles use shear bolts that will need to
be replaced)
•Pull out the flexible grommet between the
body and the door, including the connector
shroud behind it.
•The connector between the main vehicle
harness (14401) and the door jumper harness
(14A631) Can now be pulled through and
disconnected
•The T-piece jumper harness can be inserted
between the two connectors and pushed
back into the body.
•Drop the glove box fully by depressing the side
detents – the single lead with connector
(6.3mm male terminal) can be pulled through
a square hole in the body-side inner panel,
behind the flexible grommet
•Re-fitment of the flexible grommet and door
mirror is the reverse of the above process,
noting that new shear bolts will be necessary
for right hand drive vehicle, part number
W712939-S422.
This engine run signal is ground switching (max.
current sink 200mA), for example it provides no
positive output and is only active under the
following conditions:
•Ignition on
•Engine running at normal idle
•Alternator giving output
•System voltage about 9 volts

Roof-Mounted Position Light - Front
The lights operate in conjunction with the normal
position lights, driven by Central Junction Box
outputs (Left Hand: pin C2-28; Right Hand: pin
C2-20).
The roof marker lights are fitted as standard to
chassis cab vehicles, except those ordered for
camper use; on cab-van-floor vehicles, there is
a connector located in the area of the A-pillar
above the sun visor on the left and right hand
sides, that will provide the appropriate signals.
To get access the roof trim needs to be
disassembled. Each connector is capable of
supplying a 5W load.
NOTE: The feed for Roof marker lights must
NOT be taken from the side-marker and
end-outline lights signal.

Connectors are already part of the wiring if the

front fog light function).
Connecting to Lighting - Question
and Answers
1.Chassis cab end outline marker lights,
recommended circuit and max amperage –
see lighting load table. There is NO
Ford-released harness for this, as the
