<html><body>Mike- I noticed a 50A (non Lucas) fuse sitting in the lower position of the fuse box. Hope when you finish the wiring that a 35A Lucas or a 15A Buss goes in there. The 50A should go on the battery clips above and if not Lucas Brand then use a 25A Buss fuse. British fuses, labeled as such, are 1/2 of the Amp value we use in the US. If you substitute them with American fuses of equal value they will never blow when needed. Just an observation toward safety...Hank<br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Michael MacLean" <rrengineer.mike@att.net><br>To: "Healeys"<br>Cc: <br>Sent: Monday January 18 2021 11:48:30PM<br>Subject: [Healeys] Late Monday night rant.<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">Was in the engine bay doing some
preliminary wiring of components tonight. Specifically, the
fuse block and the voltage regulator. Looking at a wiring
diagram, the way you see in the two pictures is mostly correct, but
look at what the arrows are pointing at. At the point in the
harness where the wires come out of the loom for the fuse block,
you can see on the right hand side the arrow is pointing to a brown
wire with a green stripe. Good so far. Now look what
the arrow is pointing at on the other side of the fuse block.
It's a large solid brown wire. Now in the wiring diagram this
brown wire is supposed to be a continuation of the brown with a
green stripe wire. That brown wire with the green strip that
was supposed to be there goes to the "A" connection of the voltage
regulator. Now look at the picture of the voltage regulator
and notice what the orange arrow is pointing at. It is the other
end of the plain, large brown wire! The electrical
connections are correct. The color coding of the harness is
not. I have just started wiring. What else might I find
in the rest of the harness? This harness was a gift from my
late friend Tom Rocke. It was one of many free parts he
supplied for this rebuild. Don't know if I should complain
about a free harness.</div>
