If British Wiring's phone & address came through while I wasn't looking, could
someone please resend it? With a glowing recomendation like that I would like
to check them out.
On the subharness front, I was going to build up the subharness that goes from
my TR3 main harness to the brake lamp switch last night. That is until I took a
close look at it. It looks like they used shrink tubing on this subharnes (??)
It has the correct wires and fittings but the black vinal tubing over the
wiresis a very tight fit. The harness is 12 inches long and the vinal tubing is
7-1/2 inches long starting 2 inches away from the spade connectors that connect
to the brake lamp switch. Everything looks original. Hmmm???
I thought before I renew all my subharnesses I would document my old ones.
There dosn't seem to be a lot of info floating around about subharnesses.
