[Healeys] Wiring harness, colour of the zinc plated fixing, clips

[Rich C]

Gentlemen,

We on the Concours Committee have researched this a lot and found the clips 
on all the Longbridge built cars, Hundreds and 100/Six's seemed to have a 
yellowish tint to them and were indeed shaped with semi circular ends. When 
scrubbed with anything even slightly abraisive, this yellow finish came off 
quite easily.
The clips on the later cars assembled at Abingdon seemed to all have a dull 
silvery finish and the ends were slightly arched but had sharp corners on 
them.
