NEW WIRING HARNESS

[Rich]

I was watching an episode of Wheler Dealers the other night and Mike and Ant were restoring a TR 7. They needed a new wiring harness and Mike was going back to the UK so he stopped in to see one of his mates, who owns a shop accross the pond that specalizes in making new wiring harnesses. The company is called, Auto Sparks and if I recall correctly it has been around for a long time. It was very interesting to watch how they were being made.  Long story short, if anyone is looking for a new harness check these out,  might just be a good alternative.  autosparks.co.uk

I did check their site and one of the harnesses they have is listed for 2002 and they give the chassis number of the car they patterned it from.  Turns out it is a TURBO.

$800. plus is not to bad I guess. States it doesn't come with all the connectors which could be a problem I would think.

I seen another shop sell them for almost 2k, thought that was a bit excessive.

 

I did see the Wheeler Dealer episode also.  Looked like they did a nice job making them.

My secret has been outed by Wheeler Dealers.

 

I found this company 6 years ago after having a bad experience with a German company.

 

Purchased one for my car and it is good, all ends labeled, but lacks a few connectors that I have sourced elsewhere.

 

Highest quality.

 

I had corresponded a LOT with them trying to see if they would make 10+ with a discount, as for a representative for a group buy, but no deal.

 

They will however reproduce your harness if you send it to them; since there are several permutations for the carburetted cars, the front harness is different than the rears. Also, the round taillight cars will have a different harness and variant with a Tii. With respect to the Tii, the fuel pump wire, as stock is insufficient, and a heavier gauge should be specified for that when you order. Or not, and do it yourself.

 

8-10 weeks.
