Another day, another.... well you get the idea. My project 1969 2A 88" Petrol LHD. I have been researching to purchase a replacement wiring harness. Maybe because of all the supply chain issues in general most suppliers are at a 12-16 week lead time. I suspect that might even be longer.
I found a NOS Series 3 wiring harness. Both the main dash harness and the body harness to the rear of the truck. I have been studying the Haynes manual wiring harness and they look very interchangeable. I already want to upgrade to Alternator and the larger fuse box should be ok too. The only thing I am not sure on is how the harness is proportioned. For the 2A and the 3 the dash part of the harness is in a different place but if anything the series 3 harness should just be longer in this area. Something I could work with I think. I have asked the seller to take some detailed pictures of the harness all laid out expanded. I should be able to compare to my old one. BTW. My old one had a burn event sometime in it's past. I suspect that is why the truck was parked. I have entertained fixing it but as a last resort.
Any opinion if this is a good idea or am I just making a bad choice? Thanks in advance for any opinions. Cheers, Tom
