Genny harness wire and loom.

Postby pfarber » Sat Jan 30, 2010 12:48 am

Got my order for 20 ft of each of the appropriate wire(s) and loom to make a few generator harness.

Less than $42 total. Not bad.. fast shipping and the braided wire is fabulous (don't get to use that word very much).

The search or the correct flag terminal, loop type continues. I may end up cutting some metal to make them.. but tinning them may be an issue.

I have one source but they only list one size wire and don't mention the hole diameter.

I'm hoping to get some genny harnesses made up for < $20 each. Not 100% repro but none of the places that are selling $50+ harnesses seem to have the right connectors anyway.

Scored some rather obscenely expensive loop type flag terminals of the exact same type as used on the original 1943 CCKW electrical harness.

None of the wire places had the correct flag terminals, well, none that listed terminals for sale. I would be interested in seeing what the repro harness flag terminals look like.

The source of these expensive buggers? Fastenal. I nervously gave them two flag terminals (the 8 Ga and 14 Ga wire ones) and they matched them.

This is typically what I have found available:

One place gave me a handful for free.. but they are of little use to me and my truck.

Once the ordered terminals get here I'll slap a harness together.
