Sorry, Paul, I'm not much help there.  I've always just patched up the old
harness, or run new wires when necessary.

Should be close enough, even if it was originally from another car.

Just be sure it matches your car, and keep in mind the LHD vs RHD
differences.  There are something like 6 different factory wiring schemes,
times LHD vs RHD, for at least 12 different ways to wire a TR2-3B.  I've
never seen any source give more than 2 or 3, nor any source give the OD
wiring the way I found it on TS39781LO.  Even the diagram in the TR2-3
factory workshop manual contradicts the photo shown of the relay !
