Wow, that's a lot of Loti. Do they just keep following you home? The funny thing is when I owned my Super Seven back in the ...   01-02-2020 03:12 pm

Tim, I can see why the J-H would be at the back of the line since Chapman never made a car that wasn't cool, however you ...   12-31-2019 03:45 pm

Tim, Wow, I'm continually stunned by the content of your posts. You sound more like a Lotus engineer than a Jensen-Healey hobby guy like the rest ...   12-30-2019 04:22 pm

Taking another look at the photo, the word under extras/options looks like it could be "Sanyo" which is a radio. Sanyo car radios were popular ...   12-29-2019 05:23 pm

Mechfeeney, It looks great and quite cozy. I think you're being a little overly optimistic using the word finished, are they ever really finished? Weather you ...   12-29-2019 05:12 pm

It's amazing that a car with such a short production run and produced it such small numbers would have so many different wiring harnesses. ...   12-19-2019 02:48 pm

James, I wouldn't think it would be to hard to figure out. The Jensen-Healey didn't really offer a wide range of factory options. Offhand the only ...   12-18-2019 03:35 pm

I just replaced my wiring harness, wish I had those diagrams before I started. I used a combination of three different wiring diagrams for the ...   12-18-2019 03:02 pm

OK, seats are done and installed, they look great and the leather is well worth the price of admission. As usual the second seat went ...   12-15-2019 08:47 pm

I just finished and installed the driver's seat, it looks and feels great. The main difference between the new and old seats is with the ...   12-04-2019 02:21 pm

Tom, All I can speak to is the experience with my car, maybe someone with more experience, like Bruce can chime in. The seat back and ...   12-02-2019 03:29 pm

I've just finished the seat bottom of the driver's seat and it looks awesome in the car, there's just nothing like leather in a British ...   11-30-2019 02:41 pm

With the wiring harness sorted out I've been really enjoying having 19661 back on the road. So I can drive the car during the seat ...   11-22-2019 02:58 pm

Well, the wiring harness done, not for the faint of heart make sure you're correctly fused. I'm getting back to the seats, I'll let you ...   11-11-2019 11:59 pm

This project is now done. I got everything back together and hooked up, there where naturally a few glitches; a brake light, a running light, ...   11-11-2019 11:52 pm

Well, I connected the battery and the world didn't end. I did some initial tests, fuse box, cigar lighter, horns everything seemed normal. Next I ...   11-07-2019 06:54 pm

Well I've finally reached the point where the W/H is fully installed and just about everything is hooked up and I'm ready to power up ...   11-06-2019 02:07 pm

I don't have one, I just saw it on the '73 W/D along with some other head scratchers, like the prewired green wire for an ...   11-04-2019 04:55 pm

Thanks Bruce, I was able to find a suitable replacement from my parts bins. I have found some interesting things while pouring over the various W/Ds, ...   11-04-2019 03:14 pm

I think I've found the cause of the short in the cigar lighter which ended up melting the original W/H. While fooling around with the ...   11-03-2019 02:21 pm

I'm always interested in everyone's suggestions, sometimes it avoids having to reinvent the wheel. ...   10-30-2019 04:32 pm

Now you tell me, at this point the W/H is in place and everything hooked up except for the dash area, I'm going to tackle ...   10-30-2019 02:50 pm

I'm anxious to get started on the seats now that I've got everything I need but I'm being delayed with the unexpected wiring harness replacement. ...   10-29-2019 03:04 pm

You might be right Joe, it is British after all. Well I've finally gotten the W/H in place and the last of the old W/H out. ...   10-29-2019 02:56 pm

After comparing the three wiring diagrams(W/D)and the two wiring harnesses(W/H)it seems clear that this is a typical British car, which is to say not typical ...   10-28-2019 03:41 pm

Ray, Glad you were able to find a good substitute, and welcome to the "What's wrong with you people!" club. Please post progress reports, remember misery ...   10-27-2019 03:16 pm

That's the first time I've of losing out on a sale due to a lack of an ignition key. I'm just curious Ray, was he ...   10-26-2019 03:53 pm

Thanks Bruce, I imagine '75 must have been a new wave of smog regulations. In CA it's a double wammy, not only did a great car ...   10-24-2019 11:58 pm

I'm curious, did '75 and later J-Hs come with any smog equipment(air pump, catalytic converter, etc.). My J-H was built in Dec. '74 and has ...   10-24-2019 10:47 pm

I just got two wiring diagrams('73,'74)from Delta today. Neither one looks anything like the one that came with the car, I believe the one that ...   10-24-2019 10:38 pm

Sorry about the confusion, I was talking about the wiring diagram. I believe the new harness has a green wire, which is fine but I ...   10-20-2019 11:03 pm

Bruce, You were right about the unfused white wire running to the fuel pump, when I took a closer look I noticed ...   10-20-2019 04:59 pm

As I'm sorting through the new and old harness labeling as I go I've noticed something odd(it's British, go figure), the new harness which is ...   10-19-2019 10:31 pm

Bruce, You did indeed respond to my query about a replacement wiring harness, which was much appreciated, thank you. This was something ...   10-19-2019 05:31 pm

I've just gotten the old harness out, boy that's a lot of plugs! I've now gotten a look at where the fuse box used to ...   10-18-2019 03:31 pm

Joe, The first thing I'd do is get rid of those damned rubber mats. If the car gets wet and you don't pull everything out to ...   10-18-2019 03:19 pm

It's not an actual kit rather the pieces I ordered to make up a seat reupholster kit; seat covers, foams, webbing. The package arrived yesterday, ...   10-18-2019 03:10 pm

Just something I found interesting, on the original harness about in the middle is a green wire with a black connector with no apparent purpose ...   10-16-2019 03:27 pm

Joe, My J-H engine is mostly stock, no mods except for K&N air cleaners. My carbs look like the ones in ...   10-15-2019 03:38 pm

Andrew, You still have a function interlock system in your car? ...   10-15-2019 03:15 pm
