Hello All,

Mentioned last week with my first letter about my early 76 MGB (built Oct
75). Well... got my Moss wiring harness and was doing fine( under dash all
installed and totally strung through engine compartment) all I have left is A
LOT OF BROWN WIRE ENDS!!!!!!

Here's what I've got.
Brown #1+2.....both have a small black band about six inches down. These
terminate as a bundled pair with connector for starter.

Brown #3 .....Terms at fuse box

Brown #4 .....Termination point unknown.

Bundled pair w/single connector....Terminates in a second bundled pair with a
connector for starter AND a + lead at alt. plug.

I have a starter silenoid relay installed (four lead) with one lead still
empty. It calls for a " + feed ".

Most of the original wiring was missing (rodent feed) there was a six lead
relay in place with all the wires knawed (sp?) off. 5 brown and 1 brown with
stripe, maybe purple or slate. This part is ID'd as a battery cut off relay
in Moss Catalog, they sent me a 5 lead relay to replace it.

I have both Haynes and Bentley's manuals with complete wiring diagrams, both
are very different in the area of starter/relay/silenoid area.

Soo... what do I do with all the brown wire ends ( side cutters will not be
an option) and what do I do with the 5 lead relay. Leads are labled
c-1,c-2,w-1,w-2 etc.

I've enjoyed sitting back and taking in the knowledge shared her. Maybe
someone can help me .(a little sucking up never hurt.)  ;-)
