I've got an origional 53 with the origional wiring harness on it. Everything is working fine, but it is old and getting frayed. Is this one of those things, if it aint broke don't fix it, or do you go ahead and change it. I like the old cloth looking coated wire for the origional look. Where is the best place to order a harness, and how hard is it to rewire?

You can get the cloth covered wires from some of the vendors and there are places that specialize in the harnesses. Someone will be along shortly with the names of the places.

Since its original wiring it should not be a pain and most harnesses come with some directions. I also vote to rewire it because sooner or later the old wires will get you and may do more damage than a new harness will cost you.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
