This is the modified schematic. The intention was to create a Seven electrical system that would have been standard had they realized that more than two fuses was a good idea. Most double-E's out there can appreciate how difficult it is to find a 50's-vintage schematic capture system, but I managed. |
An MGB harness of about the same vintage has lots of the right color wires in it. |
This is how it starts. laying the wires in place with masking tape. |
The black electrical tape will stay inside the harness when it's done. |

The rear harness. |

The mounting threads on the turn signal switch were stripped, and these switches are quite pricey. The solution was to drill and tap holes for two 8-32 FH screws |
They were located so the nut would cover them. |
Surgery on the instrument panel: Flaps were cut and held out of the way with masking tape while the holes were drilled and countersunk. |
With the flaps glued down and the nut in place, it's not possible to see the screws. And the switch is more solidly mounted than ever. |
The finished wiring. 12 Fuses and a 100A circuit breaker. |
