She hasn't ran in 8 years and when I collected her from my dad's barn, i discovered that the damn barn mice chewed all up and down the main wiring harness! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I know there are a few re-manned wiring harnesses out there but since I'm overhauling the engine, transmission, and interior myself, why not do some wiring as well. Plus I want to alleviate some of the high load bearing pathways and be able to add accessories without worrying about melting down my dash. So I've traced the routes and labeled everything, now I need to find matching wire. Solid colors are not a problem to find but I need stuff like Green w/black stripe, Red w/white swirl, black w/ blue dashes. Even Grainger only had red, black, and white solid colors. And I don't want to have to buy 500' of each. There's at least 13 different color codes. Anyone know of a resource for this type of wire? |

I just did the 73 harness (about 4 times) in my P2. I bought 2 different ones and neither one was the same as the one I took out. The one I ended up using had no rear defroster wires and one wire was a different color than the original. I checked on the print and found it went to the same place so I used it.
BTW with the rear window out on a shell of a car, I can install a harness in about 1 hour bu myself. I started to get really good at it. With help I'm sure I could do it in 40 minutes. Just go slow, work the wires smoothly and DON"T pull too hard. It will all fit with patience. For the record, I had left my original harness in the car while restoring it and burned it while welding.
