Plus, the one from Tom's is BN1 to BT7 in not sure if the was no changes thru that many models and years.
Regards
Tom

Tompol,

Although I would suggest you acquire the wiring diagram for the BN7, installing new wiring harnesses could be a bear if you don't have the documents identifying the connectors and the harness routing. In most cases, a new harness will have the connectors labeled. However, I would see if you could acquire some pictures showing how each harness is routed through the Healey and present those connectors in close proximity to the component assignments. I have found that there is little difference in harness routing between 3000 models from BN and BT models. Keep in mind, there are a number of individual harnesses (I believe 4 harnesses), along with a number of separate extensions.

Take a look at https://www.healey6.com/technical.htm under the Electrical category and look to the documents at the end of that category list.

Good luck,
Ray(64BJ8P1)

Highly recommend Tom's Imports color wiring diagrams. I recently used one to install a new harness in my BN6. I was intimidated by the project but the following process worked for me:
1) buy an inexpensive label maker, such as the Dymo 160 https://a.co/60WxiQs
2) in the comfort of your living room, refer to the above color wiring diagram and label every one of the wires in the harness. It takes a couple of evenings but minimizes the time you spend on your back under the dashboard.

FWIW, I made the labels long enough to wrap around the wire, with the verbiage repeated twice so you could read it from any angle. The label adhesive doesn't stick to itself very well, so it's helpful to staple the labels together after folding them over the wires.
