Hi All,

I'm currently stripping down my '84 mini mayfair for a rebuild. I don't know a lot of history on the car and the engine has certainly been played with in the past. I know I'm missing a few bits but I'm not sure what the connections below should be connected too - can anyone help identify them?

A = Purple / black wire

B = 2 x Green / red wires going into single connection

C = 2 x Black wires going into a single connection

D = 2 x Black wires going into a single connection

E = Gren / white wires going into a single connection

F (listed a E below - dang!) 2 wires into a connector - 1 is green/black and 1 is Black. i think this might be from the screen washer bottle (missing from the car)

and while I'm at it:

G - is the the Clutch breather? should it be connected to anything?

Hi Mad Mk1, thanks for all that info! The wiring diagram will come in very useful.

However 1 question regarding the leads you've indicated are indicators. The photo below show the headlight and indicator leads which I labelled up when I removed the lights. As such would 'B' and 'E' be joiners for extending the wiring loom or points you'd take the side indicator from (if you had one)?

Hi All,

Mad Mk1 help identify the wire connections in questions. However, I have another question. The photo below shows me holding the drivers indicator cable and the two terminal (also indicator live and earth) coming from the same point on the wireing loom. What are the addition wire for and what are the black covers on the end of the wires (2nd photo)





Thanks for any help

G = washer motor I should think.

Hi Zef,

Sorry that's a bit of a crap photo for G - I've marked it with a red line below. It a rubber tube plugged into....the clutch housing??

Ah. That's the fuel overflow. Should be piped into the carb float chamber.

Cheers Zef,

any ideas regarding this?

Those spare wires you have found are for side indicators, witch were only needed at the time for minis that were for export.

Mine has them, but as side indicators aren’t needed till after 86, your best off taping them up and tucking them out the way with the rest of the loom.

Thanks very much. Had a feeling it would be something like that. I'm wondering whether to add side repeaters so they could come in useful.

Thanks again
