Who sells the correct wire looms for a 1971 Challenger R/T?

The wire loom kits I see all look to be the same. Or all apprear to be incorrect. The 71-74 kit comes with 4 white straps with 4 circles in it. From what I can tell the 4 hole is only used by the horn an that the other straps are either 6 or 7 holes.

In the 70 kit, they used to have 4 holes, now they have 9. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to have 7.

How sells a 6 or 7 hole wire loom strap?

Thanks

try Bill Alphin (A&M hightech Automotive) You'll most likely have to piece a complete kit together to get the correct stuff.

Locally you could also try Frank Messina - he carries alot of these types of parts.

Pete - Bill was the first website I tried.

I tried:

Bill
Dante
Herb's
Dixie

Even looked in my Frank Badalson catalog.

They all look to be using the same kit part numbers - so I am assuming they are all selling the same kits.

Last time I looked, I had to call Bill Alphin direct and chat with him about them.
If I recall He has/had them individually, not in kit form.

You can trim the longer one to the length you want. Use an x-acto and make a rounded cut.

Does anyone have a picture of a new 9 hole one next to an original one? When I was looking at mine I thought the overall length was the same, but there were more holes towards the pin. If that's the case, you can't just cut 2 holes off.

Neither of those two points make the kit right. The masses don't know what is right or wrong 99% of the time.

I have the benefit of having 7 Challengers so I can go to each of my cars and try "figure out" what should be correct. I use this great resource "Moparts" to also accomplish that goal.

The masses look to you guys, the suppliers, to be knowledgable about the things you sell. Now I know that you guys can't be all knowing, but we should all be striving to supply the best parts (meaning correct) that we can.

Bill - this is why I like you

An honest answer of this is what is out there. I'll send you an email to order some of the 5" straps and I'll see if I can modify them.

Thanks
Chris

I never stated the kit we sell is concours correct. It is not my intention to decieve any of the masses as to what`s right or wrong. I stated that our supplier which in this case is R/T Specialties supplies us with the kits we stock. Tom in my opinion is one of the most knowledgable people in the Mopar hobby when it come to clips and fastners and know that he isn`t wrong 99% of the time on all the inventory he has. He supplies most of the venders out there. I, like yourself also depend on my suppliers to supply us with quality correct parts. There`s no way I could ever know all there`s to know about the Plymouth Dodge and Chrysler cars we`ve all come to restore and enjoy. I also don`t have the luxury of having dozens of each body style and year Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler cars around to use for reference. With that being said, there`s no way one person knows all there`s to know about what`s right or wrong on these cars. In our case, I`m always on the look out for accurate information on what`s right and what`s wrong. It`s a process of learning. We always strive to supply the end user with correct, top quality parts, but as most know, never say never with Chrysler. That`s why I asked for a picture of what`s supposed to be the correct style wire loom. I`m curious as well and as you stated Moparts members have a great wealth of knowledge and are usually willing to share that knowledge so we can all learn more about these great cars.

I agree with everything you said.

I'll get you a photo of an original loom tonight.

Thanks
