The complete harness set I bought for my BT7 came from Sparks in GB. It had
everything except the heavy cables, was totally correct for my SN MKII, and
had all of the correct connectors, and light fittings on it. --Other than the
light fixtures being the currently available lesser quality, -which I replaced
with originals that I had, I was extremely pleased with it, and it's
correctness/completeness. --It cost me a bit more, but for my application it
was well worth it.

Jack,
I used a BN7/BT7/BJ7 harness when I rewired my BJ7 and found that there
were
some differences. The most notable was that the harness I had, expected
the
fuel pump to be on the left side of the car while mine was on the right
side. As I recall, if I had spent about $50 more on the harness, I could
have bought one from another company which was considerably more accurate.
Other major issues:
- My car has only one horn and the harness expected two horns.
- At some point, a previous owner had replace the voltage regulator with
one
which has spade lugs instead of screw terminals.
- The harness did not have all of the sockets for the dashboard lights.

HI ALL, I HAVE AN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHOP MANUAL PURCHASED IN MAY, 1963
WHEN I ALSO PURCHASED MY BT7 MK2. ANYWAY, I'M PUTTING A NEW WIRING
HARNESS IN A BN7 MK1 (WITH O.D.) FOR A GUY. THE MANUAL STATES THAT IT
COVERS BN6 THRU BJ7, BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE SCHEMATIC IN IT. WOULD I
EXPECT THE BN7 MK1 WIRING TO BE THE SAME AS ALL THOSE OTHERS?? THE NEW
HARNESS (FROM M+++) MATCHES THE SCHEMATIC IN MANY WAYS BUT NOT IN SOME
OTHERS. I CAN ALWAYS TRACK DOWN THE WIRE HOOKUPS WITH AN OHM METER BUT
THAT'S A PAIN. ALSO, THE NEW HARNESS HAS A COUPLE OF "EYE" TYPE ENDS
WHERE IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE AND, FOR EXAMPLE, THE WHITE
AND WHITE W/ PURPLE WIRES THAT ATTACH TO THE DASH O.D. SWITCH EMERGE
FROM THE BRAIDED HARNESS SO FAR APART THAT THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY ATTACH
TO THE SWITCH. AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?? PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN
AND MANY THANKS!!!
JACK
