Hello All,
I appreciate this has a reasonable chance of turning into a thread full of birds nest photos taken off google, but I wonder if anyone has any good photos of the routing of the wiring harness, particularly in the engine bay? I'm interested in both diesel and petrol 2As.
The reason I ask... my 2A SWB started life as a petrol and at some point has had a 5 bearing diesel fitted. The wiring harness was modified to suit, and it is an absolute death trap. I'm in the process of reverse engineering what they've done via a combination of multi-meter, 3(!) of the wiring diagrams from the workshop manual and the spares manual. I then thought I'd end up having a long conversation with auto-sparks, but I'm now heading in the direction of just making my own. To do this I need to spec the lengths and distance between legs/break points etc. Given the harness is in bits in my lounge, this will be done with string on the bits of car left on my drive.
It will inevitably be a 'custom' harness, and I'm hoping to introduce some sensible improvements (dedicated earth wire to lights, breaks in useful places, a few more fuses/relays etc.) but I'd like it to at least look close to an OEM harness if someone had a quick glance in the engine bay.
I will post some details of my plans once I've transferred them from my pad to PC.
