Well, if their website is accurate, they're not in Xiang Chou. They seem to have the ability to do a very good job at reproducing a harness if they have a sample to work from.
Since they are a US company, they will probably come at a premium over a Philippines shop, but sooner or later we need to bite the bucks and bring crafts like this back stateside.
Let us know what you decide....
Thanks for your input men. Based on cost and the uncertainty of Vintage Wiring, I have a harness coming from Walcks. And it is approved by my man Brian in Connecticut.
I used Walcks harness. It is perfect.
Good to know, thanks... it should be noted that it is 200 cheaper than Vintage... not chump change.
The KW wiring harness is also a USA made custom harness. There are a few posts on it being a good kit also.
When we put the '48 Truck back together, I just knew I could build a harness, afgter all - I used to rewire airplanes for a living.
Then I started at looking at all the different wire sizes I would need, the terminations, the break-outs and then getting a covering over it.
It didn't take me long to see that letting someone who knows what they are doing do the job. I used a KWAS harness and it was really nice. I've had compliments on the period correct woven wire insulation with the correct body color and tracers.
