Name doesn't ring a bell. By the time I got one, five (5) harnesses were made with new Ford specification wire, vinyl wrap, and cloth weave but with NOS plugs, connectors, and FoMoCo 1963 vintage fuse blocks. The only things missing were the paper part number tags. Right now at least three different shops make replacement harnesses and two different places have made part number labels. All of them are expensive. One shop has made new headlamp and turn signal extension harnesses based on my reverse engineering of original sections.
I have purchased two harnesses. One with NOS ancillaries and one from another shop will all reproduction (no FoMoCo logos) ends. Both were expensive.
It is getting common to replace the 45 year old harnesses now as more and more original cars experience insulation cracking up. Wiring fires in a Cobra are real exciting I am told.
At least I don't have to mess with original GT40 harnesses. Their replacements are insanely expensive.
