A wiring harness 400 comprises a junction box 410. The junction box 410 comprises a plurality of walls 418 426 and a lid 420 defining a space into which a plurality of cables can be received from a plurality of conduits 412a,b. The box 410 comprises a conduit receiving aperture (figure 7, 454) remote from the lid 420 comprising a conduit 412b located therein. A support structure 428 is provided to which the junction box 410 is mounted. The conduit 412b is at least partially retained in the conduit receiving aperture (figure 7, 454) by the support structure 428. The conduit receiving aperture (figure 7, 454) may be fully circumferentially enclosed within a wall of the junction box 410. A conduit insertion portion (figure 7, 454I) and a conduit retention portion (figure 7, 454R) may be provided such that a conduit 412a,b may be inserted into the insertion portion (figure 7, 454I) along an insertion axis (figure 8A, 456). The axis extends away from a wall in which the conduit receiving aperture (figure 7, 454) is located and the conduit 412b may be subsequently moved laterally into the retention portion ((figure 7, 454R).
