Two weeks and you're looking to abandon all hope? These things are not off the shelf, you know, they are all custom made to order. I'd enjoy a snifter of brandy and give the supplier a Happy New Year call.

I've used Sacramento ford for harnesses (for early 30s - 40's). So nice. Updated wires in original cloth. Ordered some harnesses for a 57 panel from I believe LMC, nice correct stuff. I can check for sure also.



2 weeks to me, seems like a day now. Maybe just me.

I recently did a search for the same thing for my 47 Coupe. Bauer Electronics in Bend, Oregon is the manufacturer of original wire loom harness with modern wires inside and is the supplier to most of the major vendors. They had a facility in my town for years and moved it out to Oregon about 30 years ago. I went through their factory back then and they had all the original old weaving machines that were really fun to watch. You can now get their harness from the vendors or contact them directly on their website.

One of their suppliers is Little Dearborn in Long Lake, Minnesota and their catalog has very good descriptions of the various sections of the harness that they sell individually, like the ignition circuit, tail light circuit, etc. and the prices are good. It is an old Minneapolis company in a new location.
