Subject: [Mgs] New Harness has arrived
My new main harness has arrived from British Wiring. This will be my
first experience changing out a harness...
My plan is this -
While removing the old harness, I will label each wire so as to have a
reference to look back at.
Install new harness, hopefully there aren't too many 'mystery' wires.
When complete, I plan to put a 5 amp fuse in series with the battery for
testing in case there are any shorts!
Any hints or tips gratefully received!

======================
Marc, as others have said, clip the old wires where they attach to each
terminal/component. However, before attaching the new harness, check each
wire left on the car vs a wiring diagram. I went through this with the 79
LE I picked up cheap with a burnt and mangled harness. There were a couple
instances where it was wired wrong. If you don't correct these, you will
possibly repeat the original letting-out-of-the-smoke ceremony. It won't
take much extra time and could save you a big headache.
