You might want to check out the wiring harness that Dan Masters is
offering. Based on Dan's electrical knowledge and the feedback from people
on the List who have one, I sent Dan my $300 this week. I was also concerned
about my automotive electrical skills so Dan sent me a .pdf file of the TR6
instruction manual that comes with the harness. Between the completeness of
the manual and Dan's telephone technical support (at least he didn't
outsource it to India LOL) I figured it was a good Winter project. Dan did
tell me to figure on spending 40 hours to complete the job. This is a
complete re-wiring of the entire car with modern components so I'm not sure
if using it hurts at car shows.

Subject: TR4A Wiring Harness
Welp,
I guess it's time to bite the bullet (connector). I have yet to get my horn
working, so no inspection, so no driving out of the neighborhood. I was
told by a LBC mechanic that the wiring harness in Daphne (67 TR4A) is a
cobbled together mess from a TR6 and another Triumph harness.
My question is:
Do you think I am capable of installing a new one myself? I am fairly
technical (Engineer), and my other hobby is repairing and refurbishing
pinball machines. Is it as simple as labling the old one, and trying to
match the new one? I know how to read a multi-meter. Has anyone done this
lately? What other tools might I need.
I refuse to give into the Dark Side (Lucas).
Thanks for any light (pun intended) you may be able to shed on this subject,
Chris
