Your only option is to buy a new one from Year One.

Thank you Snoopy. Do you know if M&H wraps the harnesses themselves or sends them out for wrapping?

Here is a trick I used. The wrap was in excellent shape between the wheel well and the front connector. I slid it down towards the rear of the harness to replace the disintrated section and used the non stick wrap for the section you don't see.

I don't know if they do it in house or send it out. I seem to remember hearing that they send it out.
Give Tom (M&H) a call and see if he can restore your harness or point you in the right direction?

Didn't Moparts member BeepBeep (Joe A) offer that service using the correct paper material?

Yes, but he did state it might not be cost effective if the harness itself was in a degraded condition so I'm assumed it was'nt a cheap alternative to just buying the new harness...

Do you know of a wrap that is simiar to the original? Does the repro YO harness have the correct wrap?

I've done the same as well, it's a cheap and easy way to make your old harness look new again.

What if you don't have any wrap under the carpet?

Hi Ray...The M&H [Y-1] does have the paper braid wrap around the harness{And ECS carries the harness tags}...That would be the easy way out for the most convincing end product...There really is'nt anything available {aftermarket} that matches the correct wrap for your harness....So other choices are a good original or slide the wrap as suggested....Heck, I've damaged some paper braid wrap just trying to clean it so be careful if you go that route...
