Street cars CSX2000 through CSX2200 received English textile braided cover wiring of the period. Street cars CSX2201 through CSX2589 received American specification Ford (i.e. Ford supplier) extruded seamless elastomeric wiring insulation of the period. (An exception is the Lucas DR3 windshield wiper drives always had English wiring pigtails.) By 1964 most SAI team Cobras were fitted with bulk aircraft wire and ancillaries of the period, most of it white in color. Factory images show cars while being wired. Wire was pulled from bulk coils, sufficient numbers of wires were strung, the wires bundled, and terminated as required to fit. Some of details like this can be found in the various books published using factory photos and or the photo collections posted on The Henry Ford site.
