I estimated the price of the connectors & shipping and then finding the correct harness cover....it just wasn't worth it.
Wound up buying one of the harnesses on Ebay from Porch Electric and so glad I did. What they sent me worked perfectly, and was correctly color-coded down to the proper lilac for the headlights. |
im not real worried about the time or effort in doing it. i want to do it just for the fact that i was the one that did all the work. the only thing im having done is the machine work on the engine (if it needs it) other then that 100% of the work is going to be done by me, i have the stock harness to go off of for lengths and if i have to i can reuse the ignition switch plug and brake switch plug i do believe these are the only two actual combined plugs on it. as far as the wire loom/cover im going to use some yellow stuff i already have. im not going for a 100% correct restoration, i want to make it my own in a way. and i have nothing but time so thats no big deal eather
