Tommy, at parts hound, has made several wiring harnesses for me. Infact, he's making my forward light harness now. His work is excellent, like original. Though i don't think he restores original harnesses.

Have you looked at M&H harnesses? Only available through year one. You can’t even buy direct.
They will be new, soft and supply, and correct.

Yep, Year One, Megaparts or god forbid Classics just check who is cheapest and they ALL get them via Year One as Kevin King has the rights to the harnesses..

Why not save some money and just do it yourself? If you're just looking to reuse the original wires, (not sure why you would but that's another thread for another day) just take it apart and re-wrap it. You can clean the terminals and connectors with a soft brush and some mild cleanser. You can get the original, non-adhesive backed harness wrap and/or friction tape from any number of sources. Once you wrap one section you will know how to do it, just have to keep tension on the wrap and plan ahead. I've done this a bunch of times. A little tedious but not hard.

I’ve thought of it before too, but by the time you buy all the individual wire colours, many different gauges of some, some with tracers some without, the connectors both the spade type and the bulkhead connectors, specialty connectors for lights, switches etc, and the fuse panel, and the specialty wires with molded ends, the wrapping both by nil and webbed I think it’s most certainly easier and probably cheaper to just buy it, especially if you’re doing just one.

who do you use to do the restore?

I didn’t say “build” one, obviously that’s an entirely different exercise. The OP said he was looking to have his harness restored which to me meant he wanted to keep the original parts but have them refurbished by someone. I guess that’s what he wants unless it was worded wrong and was merely looking for a place to buy one.
