Reply With QuoteThere is a guy in WA (I think) that makes entire replacement wiring looms.
AutoSparks in the UK do them as well - but freight is likely a killer.
When I restored my 2a - I just replaced the entire loom as the original loom was just too butchered.

What's your plan for the electrical system? I have a 63 2a that runs great but the wiring for the lights is an absolute mess.
Only one headlight comes on and none of the brake lights or blinkers work. Plus I don't think the high beam switch is working.
What would you do to fix it? I'm not an auto electrician but mechanically I'm not too bad.

For most items on a Series you don't need to be an electrician.
I've been sourcing the correct colour wire to repair a harness, just got onto a place in QLD that are about $15 for a 30mtr roll, problem is there are a lot of different colours if you want it done correctly !
The next decision is correct bullet connectors or some awful modern connectors that stand out like the dogs whatsits.
Personally I'm using bullet connectors.

SupporterWell been a long time since I have done some work on the old girl with kids moving back home and shoving there stuff in shed not a lot of room these days
The company that I dropped engine off for machine work kept putting it off for more favourable work so picked that back up a while back and will drop off to some one else next year
In the meantime I rebuilt an original 1510 series 2 1960 gearbox I found a while back most of the externals were rusted due to living outside in a paddock for many years before I found it
So with spares I had and some new bearings seals and a few new gears I now have a nice gearbox sitting in the chassis
The two original driveshaft’s splines were to worn for use so replaced with new
