1500. I got a few replies, but after that things seemed to have went
dead. I contacted TRF again, this time a flat NO was the answer. Any
of you guys have any kind of main harness for a 77 Spit? Bits?
Pieces?[snip]

Ron - I ordered a new harness for my Mk I Spit from John Kipping Triumph
Spares in the U.K. for about $150 U.S.$. It was flawlessly wrapped, proper
connectors, properly color coded wires, proper length, etc. I alos know
that Rimmer Bros. in the U.K. carries them as well. Figure another $25 or
so for shipping - seems like a deal to me when you figure in the time it
would take you to make your own.

Mine is so severely destroyed by POs and a wire fire that I do not have
a clue as where to start. There are so many splices and same color
wires from PO repairs (butcherings?) that I cannot tell what the heck is
what. I could make my own harness, but I really do not have the time to
build one from scratch

Ahhh, yes. The "spaghetti syndrome." DPO was probably in a hurry, didn't
want to search for the correct color wires, and didn't give rat's arse about
the PSO ("poor subsequent owner") who would end up with it. Alas, I have
walked in your shoes my friend and it IS painful. However, fear not, as
there are companies out there that do carry just what you need. Good luck.
