Bodgability - why?
Did you really not have a better solution? No terminals and no heat shrink?
Hooked straight on to the battery.

even worse than that Brown wire is usually for earths (although some people use black).
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Mmm, I've noticed ford edis is wired brown for live, black for earth, led autolamps tail lights are brown for live, white for earth. In fact all
their leds are white earth. Things like the round leds used for side repeaters are black live, white earth. Weird

I think you may have answered your own questions. If the culprit had no terminals and/or heat-shrink, then they did what they could to
'solve' the problem. I'm guessing they were stuck in the middle of the desert when they needed to carry out the bodge.......?

Back to the old 'Lucas' standards, brown was the colour for un switched un fused live.
Pity I can't see the picture, Co, Proxies.....

Brown always used to be power, blue headlights, red side lights, green indicators, purple horn.
These days nothing is standard from manufacturer to manufacturer or even between different models.

It seems that the battery +Ve is also very close to the carbs unless I'm mistaken! 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Was expecting a horror story today. That's scary! Although a common sight in the old days, especially on the radio cassette feed.

I think that is just the perspective on the camera, there is a fair old gap in there in reality.

In modern tintop just getting feed can be a problem I use the piggyback tap connectors you can get for blade and min-blade fuse boxes.
