Wasn't me, but I would guess that was the Dan Masters upgrade harness,

I've always enjoyed the comment in the Laycock OD manual, which basically
says they didn't fuse the OD because the fuse might fail at an inopportune
moment, and over-rev the engine. Obviously, electrical fires are minor
problems relative to over-revving the engine <G>
It's also worth noting that the Triumph Stag has lots more fuses than the
TR6 (including one for the OD), which kind of suggests that fuses were
considered expensive. The TR6 being a relatively inexpensive car, didn't
have as many (and as I recall, early Heralds had none at all).

I've not installed the harness for my TR3 yet, but it looks fairly
straightforward, if a bit time consuming. Of course, it will depend a great
deal on how comfortable you are with working with electricity. The harness
I got needs to be trimmed to length, and have connectors added to each of
the wires that mates with something on the car.
