The car is a BN6 No. 2344.  Moss list a change to the Wire harness somewhere around 3459. Cannot find an explanation of why the change.  The harness that came of was PVC with black plastic wrapping which I thought was original.  would like to be as close as possible to original.
Thanks
Gerry

Depends upon what you are trying to achieve.

If you want to end up with a driver (20 foot) car that Aunt Mary describes as "cute" then whatever works will be just fine.

If you are looking to end up with something that someone with some knowledge of classic car restoration will appreciate then replace the harness with one that closely replicates the original.

You don't mention what model of Healey you are working on but originally it would have had cloth covered wire with a cloth covering on the harness (Pre Oct 58) or PVC insulated wires with a cloth harness outer cover after tht date.

Looking for an point of view.  should one replace the wire harness that is braided or try to follow the original that appears to be PVC and banded together with black rap. The original is not that bad but again not that good.
thanks
can some who is on the MGT list know how to get on it?
