Normally I like surprises but this not so much. So I'm going to have to replace this. I thought I could fix it but it's too far gone. Some other funky things but this is the worst part. Poorly installed Cedar dashboard caused the switch for the lights to short out on the metal Dash plate. Looking at an aftermarket with an upgraded fuse box does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks

I seem to recall a character called Freewheelin' Franklin say something similar, but he wasn't talking about sports cars...(from my old adverse information file according to the folks at DISCO)
Looks like somebody let the smoke out of those wires. Here are a few things to check out:
When Dan Masters decided to hang things up sometime back, these guys above took over his British car wiring stuff. Especially check out the "Instruction Manuals" to give you an idea of how their stuff installs.
Here's a page where a guy did his own up from scratch, impressive:
A thread from another forum that among other things has a couple of shots from Ed's work (above)
And finally, it's essentially all stock stuff and some specialty tools along with wire that matches up to Lucas color coding:
That should at least keep you busy for a couple of hours as you trip down the rabbit hole.
Thanks but i think they are different. This dash has 3 lights in center. May have one already though.

As I see it, you have a couple of options: (1) just get a new wiring harness and be done with it, or (2) you probably could replace the burned sections of wire. Use the same gauge of wire, solder it and use shrink-wrap on the connections. Since it will be under a wrapping tape, the insulation color doesn't matter. More work, less money, and you keep the original stuff.
I know, it looks daunting, but replace one wire a a time, so you don't get lost, and it should go well.
