If you watch ebay, and maybe call around, you will eventually find one, but a better option might be to try to fix the one you've got. What, exactly, has gone wrong with it? Some typical problems with these have rather simple fixes. > Also...if anyone knows where a NEW wire Harness can be > found...or how to do NEW wires, that would be helpful. > It's not the miles on the car re/ wires and plastic, > it's just the AGE. 71 is a good year and the wires should not have aged that badly. Were they beat up by a previous owner, or has it lived its live in Death Valley? You're very unlikely to ever find a NEW harness, but you might find a good used one. I believe I have 2 here. In general, however, I don't recommend this. It's a LOT more work than you expect and you may never get it all hooked back up again correctly. There are also at least 3 different harnesses: a front wiring harness, a mid to rear harness, and a FI wiring harness, plus lots of individual wires. Which ones are you having a problem with and what seems to be the problem? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
