Re: [T3] in restoraton, is replacing the harness necessary?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I would have to concur with replacing the harness on most cars out there.
Unfortunately most of the non-Beetle VW's I have owned have had their
harnesses completely butchered.  I've had 8 VW Things, countless Type II's,
a 412 (God help me) and my Squareback, almost all of them would have
benefited from a new harness.  The cars that didn't need one were usually
one owner rides.  I had one Beetle that needed re-wiring, and I have owned
over 50 of them.  Why the difference?  Who knows.
  While I was GM of the Thing Shop out in AZ I sold quite a few NOS
harnesses and some good quality repros.  Most folks never had any electrical
gremlins after using one. If you have a good wiring diagram and a LOT of
time (read: don't rush), I don't think it's that hard.
Just my $0.02
