The Brown/Green wire is the power supply for the horn. The brown wire is co=
nnected to an unswitched power source, the A contact on the regulator.
The wires are correct as is the 50 amp Lucas slow blow fuse. Ref: AH 100 Se=
rvice Manual.

Nope. All wires were otherwise accounted-for; two were 'cross-colored.' The=
harness was brand new; I don't know of any that supply extra wiring for se=
parate turn signals, but I haven't looked (would be a good idea, though).

The mod we make for the back of the car is to add amber lights connected on=
