Rich - where do you see this photo of the strap in the Current Guidelines? I
don't see any photo of this little rubber strap in Section III - Engine
Compartment in my copy of the Guidelines, there is 1 photo in my copy which is
Figure III-10 - which shows an aluminum strap for the main wiring harness.
thanks for your clarification.
To see what this little rubber strap looks like just go to p 16 of
Austin-Healey Magazine, March 1994 - Norm Nock submitted an article with 2
line drawings of 2 separate rubber straps
I can scan the article and send it to John Sims for posting on his site or
just send me your request.
