[Healeys] Yet Another Wiring Question

[Michael MacLean]

In the middle of my BN2 re-wire and I have come across a bit of a kink.  If you check the Moss catalog they list an overdrive harness for the BN1 and the BN4 through BJ8.  No listing for the BN2.  The wiring harness I am installing is a Moss cloth/PVC harness.  There connection I am concerned about today is the connection from the overdrive relay connection C2 to the transmission switch.  The original wiring diagram for the BN2 in the service manual shows a single white wire with green stripe from C2 on the relay to the transmission switch.  The harness I have has the connection from C2 to the throttle switch (same color wire) within the main harness.  Really this connection is only inches apart, but there is no white wire with a green stripe other than that coming out of the harness at this point.  This leads me to believe this is just a single wire that runs from the overdrive relay to the transmission switch.  Has anyone that has wired a BN2 run into this?  I would like to know what gauge wire to use  because I do not know the amperage this wire has to carry.  How long of a wire would this be approximately?  I would like to order it from British Wiring with a woven sheath (black with white dots) to make it look somewhat period.  No having the transmission installed yet makes figuring the length a little difficult. I'd rather be too long with this wire than the alternative.Mike MacLean
