New 2a Owner Intro & Project Questions

[TeriAnn]

TerriAnn, thank you!

I am going to move forward with creating my own main harness. I was going to order all wiring from Britishwiring.com, this is really the only source I have found that carries the wires I am looking for. Are there others I should be aware of?

British Pacific normally carries wire by the foot. It is not in their new web site but you can call them at their 800 number & inquire 800-331-4455, or email britpac@aol.com

I don't know if Rovers North carries wire by the foot. If they do I'm sure someone will let us both know.

Be sure to install all new bulkhead grommets. I think British wiring is the only one carrying the proper bullet connector crimper and you will really need one if you do bullet connectors. It is hard to do solder on bullet connectors. The insulation melts near the connector before you can get it hot enough for good solder flow.

Bullets should be crimped only, no solder. If you are detail oriented, use adhesive lined heat shrink to seal the bullet to the wire.
There are many good, sound and compelling reasons not to solder.
