Series 3 SWB Rear wiring harness

I am restoring a 1967 Series 3 and about to install the rear wiring harness. The multiway connector at the front has 6 wires, 4 of them go to the rear lights for side, brake, lh indicator, rh indicator and 2 branch off near the front. The 2 that branch off are Green/Black and White/Green. The Green/Black is the fuel sender, anyone know what the other wire is for?

Eh? So it's a IIa then?

Well yes its a 2a I suppose, but its got more 3 bits on it than 2a I think. The electrics seem all series 3. Has alternater and ignition switch etc from series 3.

according to the series 3 wiring diagram i have the white/green goes to the sender too.

according to the series 3 wiring diagram i have the white/green goes to the sender too.which it obviously doesn't 'cos i've just gone and had a look and only the green/black does,this is why i'm ****e at wiring!

is it diesel or petrol,neg or pos earth?

Ask Yella, He got a super wiring harness for his series.

he will when i can dig him out the pub!
i was trying to show how crap i am at even reading a diagram but i'm trying (very)!

Its a petrol and its negative earth and to think I thought that this would be the easy bit!

having consulted all the wiring diagrams that i have i think the green/white is for the right hand indicators.but don't take that as gospel 'cos i really am very bad at wiring.

Sure, there is a green/white that is the right hand indicator, but there is also another wire that looks like its a white/green that is branching out at the front of the rear harness as well.

i've now taken my dunces cap off and have deduced that you have a diesel wiring loom 'cos they both go to the sender on a 2 1/4 series 3 diesel.

thanks bigchap - sorted now.
