[Healeys] Wiring Question

[Michael MacLean]

 Already done.  Cable from Ebay as well as a $20 crimping tool and two eyelets from Amazon.  Total of $46.  Half of what Rhode Island Wiring wanted minus the shipping.  Thanks guys.Mike MacLean

Definitely no need to get the Rhode Island cable then!  If there's one person I'd listen to on this list it is Michael Salter.... harbour freight it is!
Cheers,

 I'm sure the wiring from Rhode Island Wiring meets with concours standards.  At the price they charge, it better.  My car is not a concours car.  I am resurrecting a Frankenstein of a BN2.  This car has sheet metal and so many parts from other cars I can hardly claim even matching numbers.  It did not even have a chassis ID plate when I bought it, just a frame with some suspension and some sheet metal which i had to place all but one door.  Make no mistake , it is not a resto-mod.  It will be stock Healey all the way.  It's jsut the sheet metal is from several cars, the block from another, the head from another and on and on.  Even though I have a bag of original helmet head connectors, I will probably use cheap clamp on battery connectors on my two repro 6 volt batteries just for ease in making the cable and easy replacement. I am not concerned.  I am sure I will still get the full Healey experience driving this "Frankenstein" around.Mike MacLean

 Hi Michael -
The thing with Rhode Island wiring is that what they would sell you is something that would be very close to original, so usually their stuff is good for concours restorations.
Best Regards,

Who sells the battery to solenoid wire assembly for the BN2.  It's a large gauge wire that runs under the car from the battery to the solenoid behind the engine as you probably know.  Our friend Moss does not sell it.  I can find it from our overseas suppliers, but I would rather source it locally if I could.  I found it on the Rhode Island wiring site, but they want $90 for it.  Seems a little excessive for a single wire with a battery clamp on one end and a crimped eyelet on the other.Mike MacLean
