Carl,
I don't remember who it was but a recent (last few months) Gallery story had a fellow who used a cloth wiring harness as a replacement. You could post a new thread to see if the fellow shows up ... or go back and read the last 10 or 15 stories.
I was impressed that he still could get a cloth WH. I remember he commented he was glad he went thru the extra effort to get cloth.
(If that helps).
