[Healeys] Wiring Question

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Michael-the black ground wires in eyelet goes to to one of the holdown
screws for the regulator-shown here-its one of the photos I sent you
on disc.
Depends who made your harness and if you have an early or late
solenoid for the spade connector-early ones were screw terminals. Hank

Subject: [Healeys] Wiring Question

   Wiring the engine bay in my BN2 now. A little confused. When I
wired the Bugeye some 20 years ago I don't seem to remember having any
problems matching wiring end terminals with the connections to the
components in the engine bay. If you look at the two pictures one is
of a straight on shot of the voltage regulator with the cover off. All
the connections have been made except the three black wires that go to
the screw on the right. Easy enough to just cut off the eyelet and
twist the three wires together, then shove under the screw. My
question is why is there an eyelet connecting these three wires? The
second picture (not real clear) shows another eyelet on the end of the
white wire with the red tracer. This wire goes to the blade connector
at the top of the solenoid. I can see that I have to cut this eyelet
off also and crimp/solder a female connector for the blade connection
(or drill out that hole and put a screw and nut in there for the
eyelet), but why is there an eyelet on the end of this wire? Did the
original solenoid have a screw connection for the eyelet. That would
not be the case for the three black wires that connect to the voltage
regulator though. Just wanted to ask before I started snipping away
here. Mike MacLean
