Has anyone tried to make a wiring harness just following the wiring diagram in a manual? I was wondering if this is an exercise in futility or with some patience, can I make it look good (and work, of course)?

If your vehicle is Stock ...it should not be a problem ...just test fit the wires and loom em up an maybe look into a modern fuse block for on side road emergencies at night it can be hard at times to find a old tube fuse with a modern block ya can score a fuse pretty easy.
..if it is far from stock then i would suggest an aftermarket harness with a modern fuse block .

It should be a pretty simple harness if you're comfortable doing it. Just be sure to use the proper size wire if you're staying 6v. 6v requires a larger gauge wire than 12v because 6v moves more amps. I don't know the exact gauges involved but someone here can give you that info.
