Dean,
Sounds to me like the harness has already been R&R ed with one that was
home made!

Maybe you would like to make me an offer on the harness I just pulled
out of my Race Car Project (Mk1).  I was planning to refurb it and put
it away for future use, but if you are interested, perhaps we can deal!
