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

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Rich and all,
After observing the clips of the old original BN1 wiring harness of my car, I
can completely confirm what you wrote. The clips were silver plated, but had a
yellowish shade of paint on them. On most of the clips this yellow finish was
already gone and the silver plating is visible as the yellow can be rubbed off
or removed with paint thinner.
This is just to prove what Rich already mentioned.
Many thanks again for the help.

Josef Eckert

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.
