The Fiamm compressor (at least the period one like Road Master, Mercury
or serie 2000) draws about 20/25A, about the same as two Lucas electric
ones if they are the big ones. The later smaller H&L ones use quite a
bit less.
The Fiamm horns sound and look very nice though. They do need
maintainance though. A few drops of light oil every month.

<div>Nope. All wires were otherwise accounted-for; two
were 'cross-colored.' The harness was brand new; I
don't know of any that supply extra wiring for
separate turn signals, but I haven't looked (would
be a good idea, though).<br>

<div>I and many others in the UK feel that with
just two red lights coming on is very
confusing particularly as one enters a corner
and brakes. This confusing array is therefore
dangerous. In the UK amber turn lights have
been mandatory for many years. Younger drivers
would not understand anything but amber.</div>

</div>
<div>The mod we make for the back of the car is
to add amber lights connected on the existing

additional wire. At the relay box, all is
needed is one wire being redirected to the new
wire.</div>

I feel your pain. My dad got a new harness
for our BN2 (probably from Moss). I thought
the harness was good quality overall, and
everything worked except the turn signals. I
spent 3 days double-checking everything; we
went so far as to open the relay box, but
everything looked good in there. I
eventually discovered the wiring to one of
the rear brake/turn lights was mis-colored.
This really pissed me off, as I'd wired a
bare chassis just from the schematic and it
would have been 100% correct if not for the
misidentified wire. I'll probably never sell
the car, but whoever ends up with it will be
confused, as a couple of wires are
interchanged from the schematic. Come to
think of it, I should probably label the
flaw ... as soon as I finish all the other
stuff needs fixin'.<br>

Looking at a wiring diagram, the way
you see in the two pictures is mostly
correct, but look at what the arrows
are pointing at. At the point in the
harness where the wires come out of
the loom for the fuse block, you can
see on the right hand side the arrow
is pointing to a brown wire with a
green stripe. Good so far. Now look
what the arrow is pointing at on the
other side of the fuse block. It's a
large solid brown wire. Now in the
wiring diagram this brown wire is
supposed to be a continuation of the
brown with a green stripe wire. That
brown wire with the green strip that
was supposed to be there goes to the
"A" connection of the voltage
regulator. Now look at the picture of
the voltage regulator and notice what
the orange arrow is pointing at. It is
the other end of the plain, large
brown wire! The electrical
connections are correct. The color
coding of the harness is not. I have
just started wiring. What else might
I find in the rest of the harness?Â
This harness was a gift from my late
friend Tom Rocke. It was one of many
free parts he supplied for this
rebuild. Don't know if I should
complain about a free harness.</div>
