Thanks (again and again) for the help Wild.   The pictures are a tremendous help.

No problem....

@Dakota Don't forget the ground strap. Here are a few more photos.

Definitely better pictures, my car is assembled so I wasn't taking anything apart & to be honest I didn't remember the ground strap till you posted to photo....

[Dakota]

Thanks guys.  Using the pictures you supplied, I found the mounting location on the dash frame for the map light.  Much obliged!

There's also a light here:

@Cuda Cody I couldn't get the light to fit as shown in the picture you posted on page 1 of this thread.   Wouldn't using the mounting point farther to the back of the cluster be a better fit?  The angle on the light housing seems to line up with the bevel on the plastic housing better here.   I'm planning to use the other hole (closer to the face of the switch panel) for a ground wire.

Just posting some additional pictures of some of the A01 option components.

The unused location on the "time delay ground" would be used to feed an overhead console if needed.  I'll be making a replacement diode piece shortly following the guidance on page 1 of this thread.

Several of the wires for the instrument panel lights and A01 lights had breaks in the insulation which led to signs of charring/melting.   I'll be replacing these wires shortly as they are not included in the replacement M&H instrument cluster harness.

Good work: I enjoy doing work like that and it really adds to the quality of the resto, let alone the safety aspect of it.

Rallye gauge vs standard gauge?

I have a standard gauge cluster.  So it looks like the mounting points for the light are different depending on the cluster type??

If you contact M&H directly, there's a decent chance that they can make the extra harness parts you need.
They don't regularly offer reproductions of everything due to a limited supply of some of the required parts for making these sub harnesses.
They probably already have the blueprints required for making these harnesses, but if they don't, you can send them your original and they will reverse engineer it to create a set of blueprints for future reference.
Years ago, I sent them an E body cruise control wiring harness so they could make blueprints, and they supplied me with a reproduction E body cruise control harness.

Thanks for the suggestion @cataclysm80.   I've sent them an email to see what can be done.   If I'm able to pick up some of the bullet connectors from them, I'll take care of the rest.  To this point, I've not been able to find a bullet connector that is the same diameter as what's on the stock wiring.

Tav, Not to take this thread off topic, but last week I contacted M&H about making an E body cruise control harness...They claimed there's no pattern for the harness and wanted my original harness{es} in order to make a set...

Yea I would have bought these too....I'm on my second E Body with cruise now
