[Healeys] Help re installation of Moto-Lita wheel AND horn push on adjustable column.

[Greg Lemon]

Derek, brown is horn, circuit is completed to ground no extra wire, other 
three are turn signal, solid green should be power, then routes to green 
with xx or green with yy through the control head to operate blinkers, 
careful here, don't pinch anything when you shove it all back in, and make 
sure all the connectors are screwed down tight, not a job you want to repeat 
over and over again, nor do you want to hit metal and melt the thing.

from Patton  Dickson's website: 
http://www.austin-healeys.com/downloads/100-6diagram.jpg don't think the 
control head wiring changed.

> Guys

> CLOCKWISE. - Ok

> Dismantled trafficator -ok - Except for the last part that seemed
