Who restores wiring harnesses? - 02/26/16 05:50 AM


Since Year One is out of wiring harnesses for my 68 roadrunner is there anyone who restores original harnesses?

Contact Jim. He is a member here (js restorations) and I know a few who has used him for switches and stuff and maybe he can help. He has posted what he has done and look fantastic, just do a search. Good luck

Check Megaparts.com, they might have what you are looking for.

I agree, very talented guy who does awesome work but the last time I spoke with him he was retiring so I don't know if he's taking on new work or not these days.

Both Year One and Megaparts get their wiring harnesses from M&H, the backorder situation is with the supplier not the retailer. Worth checking though, to see if they might by chance have a set gathering dust in their inventory.
Anyone know how long M&H is backordered on harnesses these days? I ordered a Challenger rear harness from Year One before xmas and haven't heard any updates from them after I ordered it and they said it was backordered. At least they had a front harness in stock they sent me! I hope I get my rear harness by late April but I'm starting to get worried. luck

I recommended checking with Megaparts because I recently had a a 70 Cuda harness on order at YearOne for two months and got a card from them saying that it would be backordered for another two months. Someone mentioned to me that Megaparts also carries M&H harnesses and I checked with Megaparts and they had it in stock.

Thank you guys, but...

Opps! I think we have a slight misinterpretation. JS Restorations is not out of business due to retiring. My wife said no when I asked her if I was retired. She told me to get back to work! tsk laugh2

What has retired is offering plastic restoration services for restoring front plastic grilles, lens polishing, heater control panel, radio bezels etc. There are just not enough hours in a day to support both electrical and plastic restoration work. So, plastic restoration work just had to go. Electrical restoration services are and will stay the main stream business work.

Also, no “Harm” taken. (Just had to pull your chain, Scott) up

My dash harness for my 74 Duster took 8 months from Year One, but I just ordered a taillight harness for the same car and it came right away...guess they had it in stock.
They kept me on the hook by saying it would only be 6 more weeks or so, and then repeated it (several times)...suckered me into not cancelling the order for that long.
