Maybe I should clarify. A set of instructions was sent with the wiring. A photo of that is in my post of 1900hrs, yesterday, 4th pic. That information relates to the assembly of the individual components of the set into the complete wiring harness. Each wire package is labelled as to it's purpose. This can be seen in the 3rd photo of same post. Each individual wire is numbered. The number labels can be removed without problem or residue. Though i'll test that in practice, at a much later date!.

There was no possibility of me supplying an original harness. There was very little of the original one to salvage, and it was heavily caked in oil and mud. The new harness is reproduced from an original harness that the company obtained years ago. I have no fear that there will be errors, but should an issue arise, there is support from them to rectify. This is one of those times when I was glad to spend such a sum of money, in order to get the finish I want.

The information I need to find is the physical routing of the wires themselves, not how they go together. Vintage Wiring Harness has taken all the angst out of that.
