A short update report this time, but also an important one for the main harness. Over the weekend I finished the two parts that are the back bone for this harness. To start with the fuse box mounting bracket (TKC 3343). Though I have to point out that the bottom right U-type spire nut, in the lower picture, has been replaced since the picture was taken. For obvious reasons!
And the relay holder (TKC 1035). As the fuse box mounting bracket, this too was powder coated. The lokut nuts are new items, whereas the cable ties are the original, cleaned, items. The relays and the Pektron unit are cleaned original items;
The anoraks might have noted that this is the early variant, which has two lugs, which are bolted to the two brackets welded to the inside of the firewall on earlier cars.
Instead of the single stud on a fairly pliable plate welded to the top of the holder. Probably introduced to simplify production. But the overall lay out of this bracket is exactly the same as the later (European) items.
Next will be the lengthy process of inspecting and cleaning the remaining parts of the harness itself.
