Sound deadening and wiring harness

I have been putting some raamat and dynamat on the interior panels, this should help with sound and heat.  Both are foil-backed butyl rubber which I had left over from other MG projects. Further heat and sound control will be achieved with an under carpet padding application.

The wire harness seems to be correct from British Wiring.  I stuck with the voltage regulator/generator for now.  The only tricks I know to pass along are:
1. Use the single long wire from the fuel pump on the old harness to attach the new rear wiring harness to, then pull it though the channel above the front quarter-light and then through the rear parcel shelf into the trunk.

2. The main harness feeds through from the engine compartment to under the dash.

3. Put the dash gauge cluster on a box to hold it up while you are connecting all of the controls and gauges.

I am now reconnecting the wiring and finishing the sound deadening program.

After all is re-wired I will test with a small battery charger before connecting the battery.


Some more pictures of the sound and heat protection in place:
