Hi,
A thought.....
I also have looked closely at the upper harnesses and will be replacing the cracked and worn ones with new.
I haven't looked at the price of buying them elsewhere, and wasn't going to. My first thought was to just make new ones myself.
It's not actually as hard as it seems.
For the efi ones anyway, main harnesses, no thank you!
The electrical diagrams in the stickies help, but aren't necessary for this. They are necessary for lots of other things.
I reckon most people who can use tools could do this one.
I can easily find the right color and gauge wire and know how to join electrical fittings like these, so I'm laughing, but even if you have to substitute wire colors, if you take your time, you can remake any harness you want.
Just a thought...
For me, this is easy, but I know some people would have serious trouble.
But, I'm noticing that if you own an old jag, you like working with all these car things.
Or you like paying someone to do all these car things.
Many owners do indeed make up their own replacement harnesses. I've done a few in my time.
Sometimes a harness can be repaired rather than replaced. Case by case decision, obviously. Usually, though, that FI harness that sits right on top of the water rail is beyond hope.
