This
a harness for cars that were originally shipped to
non-USA "Left Hand Drive" countries. It is of course
designed for an engine with the alternator mounted on
the passenger side since other countries had no smog
system.
It
can be used on a USA car but has some differences. It
will have some extra plugs that will go nowhere on
your car that need to be taped up for appearance and
protection of the electrical circuits. Non USA cars
had a "Passing Light" System which allows you to rock
the high beam lever on your steering column back and
forth without having the switch actually change the
light status from high to low beams. In Europe for
instance it is common to blink your lights to pass
someone in the left lane by doing this; and is not
considered rude behavior. Many places don't have (or
didn't have) speed limits. Europeans (I have heard)
seem to know not to putt along in the left lane
blocking even normal moving traffic like so many
people do here. There's a very cool movie with Robert
DeNiro called I think "Ronin".; one of the best Euro
driving movies I've seen other than "The Italian Job"
that has the three Minis being chased all over the
place.
If
you could somehow find the special relay and the
special turn switch as used on the LHD Euro cars you
could convert; here you just have to click it to make
the change up and down; assuming you want to pretend
to be "European".
*Can
be used on a 1600 with some work. The 2000 has its
temperature sender wire coming out of the dash harness
on the passenger side by the coil. The 1600 has its
temp sender wire running inside the hood harness on
the drivers side after leaving the dash harness in one
of the plug-ins above the clutch pedal under the dash.
This simple modification allows use of 1600 harnesses
on 2000s and vice versa.
