Seems to me that the dash portion is such a major part of the "whole" wiring
harness on most Triumphs that it's not worth trying to do JUST that section. I
suspect you'd have more trouble building a harness just for that area and then
trying to somehow splice it in to whatever's left (which isn't very
much...mostly, it's just the relatively few underhood connections to ignition
and charging systems and lights). With planning, maybe a bit of physical help
and some good guidelines, replacing the entire harness on a TR4 shouldn't be
more than a single-day-long job at worst. But make sure you do have the correct
diagram for your car!
