<p>I did it in situ in my BJ8. I replaced a section at a time,
cutting out the old wiring then replacing with new, one connector
at a time. The only part I couldn't get was the clip in the
gearbox tunnel; there was no way to get a screwdriver on it so I
just cut out the old wire and tie-wrapped the new to the clip,
pending pulling the engine someday. IIRC, the harness is one
piece, except for OD and trafficator subharnesses and some
pigtails to the front lights; i.e. there is no subharness to the
rear. But, except for working under the car the rear portion is
actually pretty easy; worst is under the fascia.</p>
<p>Do some diagnosis first; it might have been a short section that
you can replace or bypass. After I installed mine, I let the
smoke out under the fascia--hot lead for a cigar lighter hit
metal--but I left it in and have put many thousands of miles on
the car since with no problems.<br>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet

going to have to replace my wiring harness, or at least the
portion under the dash and hopefully not the sub-harness to
the rear, I’m open to input and suggestions from the list.
Why, you ask? A friend, who is an old hot rodder and drag
racer (i.e., not real familiar with Healeys), was helping me
install the bonnet. I asked him to pull the bonnet
release. He pulled a wire instead which set off all manner
of smoke and smoldering when I turned on the lights. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
