Wiring harness

#1 Post by andrewMcF » Thu Oct 22, 2009 11:20 am

Looking for a good place to purchase a wiring harness for my 67 109 or a good article (with pretty pictures) on how to build one. What's a wire harness worth these days anyways? None of the usual suspects have them on there website catalogs...

I personally hate messy wiring but unfortunately lack the anal retentiveness and know how to do it right

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

You are already considering purchasing a complete harness and I would advise that you continue that quest. Unless you are wanting to make numerous custom modifications to the vehicle I think that you will find it much more economical to buy a ready made harness. I wired my own 88" years ago and while the job turned out very well (in my opinion) it was a whole lot of work (to do it 'right') and very expensive if you are buying all the materials retail. Unfortunately I can;t be much help in advising on a source but I know they are out there.

Regards
John

Andrew,
I'm not sure what he's got in stock currently but Alan Simpson at Roverworks used to stock harnesses for series vehicles. He advertises with the club.

Check with Alan first, but if he can't help order one up from AUTOSPARKS in the UK.

I've ordered from Autospraks before. Shipping cost was good and it arrived quickly. Looks just like the genuine one.
