EVERYTHING in a Mini (or Lucas in general) wiring loom is done for a purpose, even the colour changes midway through a wire.
Once you understand the reasoning for it (or wire a car from scratch using the correct colour codes) you won't want to change.
If I didn't build the loom from scratch, I'd be straight into fitting an Autosparks replacement loom - they just work.

I prefer the centech fuse panel because it has terminal strip connection at the panel.
This way you can keep the connections at the load in tact and shorten the wires at the panel.

I find that (although costly) there is nothing simpler than using a new stock harness. All the connections are exactly where they need to be. The wires are colour coded to the accessary that they are supposed to connect to, and anyone who has ever seriously been involved in British cars can easily hook things up because the colour coding is the same on all Lucas harness'. Simple, quick, and easy. FWIW, the new harness' come with plenty of new smoke installed, so they usually last quite a while. Just a thought.

I think the rest of the rewire would be pretty easy with a gm column
