The regulator box black (earth) wires have an eyelet because, on six =
cylinder cars at least, they are fixed under a screw into the bulkhead, =
maybe the threaded hole in the upper right of your photo.

Subject: [Healeys] Wiring Question
=20
Wiring the engine bay in my BN2 now. A little confused. When I =
wired the Bugeye some 20 years ago I don't seem to remember having any =
problems matching wiring end terminals with the connections to the =
components in the engine bay. If you look at the two pictures one is of =
a straight on shot of the voltage regulator with the cover off. All the =
connections have been made except the three black wires that go to the =
screw on the right. Easy enough to just cut off the eyelet and twist =
the three wires together, then shove under the screw. My question is =
why is there an eyelet connecting these three wires? The second picture =
(not real clear) shows another eyelet on the end of the white wire with =
the red tracer. This wire goes to the blade connector at the top of the =
solenoid. I can see that I have to cut this eyelet off also and =
crimp/solder a female connector for the blade connection (or drill out =
that hole and put a screw and nut in there for the eyelet), but why is =
there an eyelet on the end of this wire? Did the original solenoid have =
a screw connection for the eyelet. That would not be the case for the =
three black wires that connect to the voltage regulator though. Just =
wanted to ask before I started snipping away here.
