As a general rule I replace all wiring harnesses whether they need to or not at least under the hood for safety reasons. The rest depends on the condition. When ever I use reproduction harnesses I always open them up and replace some of the wires with correctly colored ones from my inventory and change out any incorrect ones. American Auto Wire custom made all the harnesses on the car by hand using some of the items I sent them and they did a great job. The dash harness was still in great shape so I ended up restoring my original using original style tapes and wraps. Original color coded fuses were also cleaned and reused.

All electrical switches were disassembled, rebuild and relubed. I do this on almost every restoration to insure everything is brand new.

The intermediate harness was supplied by AAW and the sheathing was the original which was restored.
