Gary,
I believe if you contact Sparks in GB directly, they can make a harness to any
available complete specification you can provide. When I bought my harness
from them 7 years or so ago, there was no exactly correct harness available
for the crossover point in production that my car had been built in.
(variations having to do with the fuel pump wiring) --they worked with me on
producing the correct harness.
I would be very surprised if they could not supply one which is correct in all
aspects for your car.
You could also contact Rhode Island Wiring to see what they say. They do
Healeys, and I believe they make all of their own harnesses. -I have no
personal experience with them, however.

Subject: BJ8 Phase 1 wiring harness
I recently purchased a complete set of wiring harnesses from British Wiring
for my 1964, BJ8, Phase 1, HBJ8L25869.
What I received is actually for the early Phase 2 cars with single indicator
lights. I.E. 26705 thru 31335, see page 149 of Restoration Guide by Anderson
&
Moment. British Wiring agrees with me, but does not offer a harness for the
Phase 1 cars. They indicate that the actual electrical differences are minor
&
I tend to agree based on my initial inspection of the two.
My questions are:
Is there a supplier of the correct harness?
Has anyone actually used the harness I received on a phase 1 car & can tell
me if it is electrically interchangeable & relatively easy to modify where
required?
I know the trace pattern is different.
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
