has any one used the 47-49 wiring harness from brothers? I plan to stay 6 volt and use the original generator. but i also want to have turn signals...I guess what i am asking is if you have used brother's wiring harness does it come complete with ends and connectors? has anyone run into any problems with this harness? will i have to make any changes to the harness? just like someones opinion on this harness before i buy it...thanks, sam

If you're staying 6 volt you'll need a heavier harness than one made for 12 volt applications. There are a few vendors selling OEM appearing harnesses but they aren't cheap. I used the harness from YNZ on my 38 and I'm quite pleased with it.

Classic Parts is one of several vendors that sell a wiring harness with color-coded wires of the correct length and with terminated ends ($150 - matches the original wiring and circuits). Call them to see if they include wiring for an after-market turn-signal assembly (they did with my 54/55 wiring harness, but an RPO turn-signal assembly was available in those years).

The wires in this assembly are plastic (PVC) coated. As state above, the original wires were lacquer-coated braided cloth/thread covered wires (and, a reproduction assembly costs over $600).

I used classic's on my truck and it worked out great, pretty good instructions included with the set. I would ask about that if you go sompleace else, clear detailed instructions make the job a whole lot easier, classic numbers each wire which then matches the key.
