Rhode Island Wiring is the gold standard for wiring for Healeys.

very expensive, but if you go to their website and look for foreign
cars/Austin-Healey, under BN2 you will find a list of 15 different

This
should help you figure out what pieces you were given, although some
wiring providers combined a couple of the harnesses so be prepared for
that too.
The harnesses connect together with bullet connectors, as you probably
know.=C2=A0 RI Wiring provides theirs already soldered and crimped in place
but yours may need to be installed.
Even with RI Wiring's detailed diagrams, I had to lay out the

prepared for fitting problems with the aftermarket ones, though some
are better than others.
Make sure you have all of the grommets that you need, especially the
big one on the firewall that needs special care to feed the harness
through.=C2=A0 Put the grommet on the harness before you start that part.
Take your time.
