actually the "original looking" harness at JC is like $500 ELW109, it's the cloth covered wire as yours would have been - the cheaper one is PVC coated wire and PVC tape wrapped .... original appearing to someone who doesn't know better, but not to most of us grin

there are other places that will have the same cloth covered version, but they're all pretty spendy

As Bill said, the cloth cover harnesses are expensive. I used the harness from YNZ on my 38. My harness was the best of both worlds. It has the vinyl insulation with the cloth over that so as the cloth ages & starts to go away, the modern insulation is still there to prevent shorts.

I used a co. called Lectric Limited for a 54 vette I was restoring. The harness had cloth covering and correct wiring connectors, it also came with a laminated wiring schematic (2ft x 3ft.) that now hangs on my garage wall. The web address is www.classiccarelectrical.com .

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
