<VV> Early Dash Harness Sources

[Duane, Jim]

Hi Michael.

	At $300 bucks, an approach might be to replicate one yourself.
A word of caution on using an old harness.  Insulation can get brittle
and crack (happens at age 41 to the best of us!), causing the
possibility of shorting in the future.  If the wire is "supple" enough,
then at the very least, re-terminate with unused, clean contacts.  The
contacts can take a "set" after being in use for a number of years
causing a resistive connection.  
	The pins and connectors are available.  You may have to search
for wire with the correct color coding, but that's really not necessary
as long as you match the wire size and correctly mark them.
