Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I have somehow manage to pull out the offside sidelight wiring on my 1963 Mk2. The end of the cable come through in to the engine bay is now dangling basically underneath the carbs and distributor area ! The black cable has no end and the red cable has the normal small bullet shaped connector on it. I've had a look around but its not obvious

Thanks
Allan

There should be a 5-way block of connectors fitted to the inner wing for the side, head, fog lights and indicators. The feed wire has come out of one of the points here.
Originally, all the earth wires for these lights would have been fitted with bullet connectors, and these would have been pushed into metal tags fixed beneath the securing screws for the block connector. As these tags often break off, yours may have been fitted with a loop terminal and earthed somewhere nearby.

Hi PeteB

Thanks for the reply, I did see that connect block but wanted confirmation before I started to 'plug things in', seemed to close to the carbs to gamble !
