Definitely no need to get the Rhode Island cable then!  If there's one =
person I'd listen to on this list it is Michael Salter.... harbour =
freight it is!

I'm sure the wiring from Rhode Island Wiring meets with concours =
standards.  At the price they charge, it better.  My car is not a =
concours car.  I am resurrecting a Frankenstein of a BN2.  This car has =
sheet metal and so many parts from other cars I can hardly claim even =
matching numbers.  It did not even have a chassis ID plate when I bought =
it, just a frame with some suspension and some sheet metal which i had =
to place all but one door.  Make no mistake , it is not a resto-mod.  It =
will be stock Healey all the way.  It's jsut the sheet metal is from =
several cars, the block from another, the head from another and on and =
on.  Even though I have a bag of original helmet head connectors, I will =
probably use cheap clamp on battery connectors on my two repro 6 volt =
batteries just for ease in making the cable and easy replacement. I am =
not concerned.  I am sure I will still get the full Healey experience =
driving this "Frankenstein" around.

Hi Michael -

=20

The thing with Rhode Island wiring is that what they would sell you is =
something that would be very close to original, so usually their stuff =
is good for concours restorations.

Who sells the battery to solenoid wire assembly for the BN2.  It's a =
large gauge wire that runs under the car from the battery to the =
solenoid behind the engine as you probably know.  Our friend Moss does =
not sell it.  I can find it from our overseas suppliers, but I would =
rather source it locally if I could.  I found it on the Rhode Island =
wiring site, but they want $90 for it.  Seems a little excessive for a =
single wire with a battery clamp on one end and a crimped eyelet on the =
other.
