Wow, I didn't think there would be this much response. LannM sent me a
copy of a Visio diagram he did for his MGB, so I can reuse a lot of his
icons. I'll have to go through my archives to find the problem with the
wiper motor wiring - didn't Mike Ash put that in one of his MGA!
columns? I make sure the clock is in as well. I'll build the diagram
for 11 x 17 paper since that's a standard size that all copy stores will
have. I should have a draft version of it by the end of next week ready
for technical evaluation before we distribute it out.
