wire harness

[Johnny K]

Hey guys, I have an 82' 850GZ and am going to re-do the wire harness. I have very little electrical knowledge and was wondering if anyone knew of someone that builds wire harnesses. I am going to buy a used 82 1100G wire harness and take it apart, replace all the wires and connectors and then switch it with my old harness because they both are the same harness. All my wires have been messed with and are a real PITA that I don't even know where to begin and am thinking that this may be over my head, but I have to start somewhere because every time I would put a new connector on, not all of the copper would show when I stripped it and it is very brittle. So that is why I am buying the used 1100 harness. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks,
John.

I have the site to buy new connectors, but I don't know where I can start to buy the wire to re-do the harness. Thoughts? Thanks

Hi Mr. JohnnyK,

Perhaps http://www.mcmaster.com for your wire needs? Their automotive wire selection is here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#automotive-wire . EDIT: Well, that link didn't work. Just type in "wire" in the 'Find Products' search bar and click the link that says 'Automotive wire'.

I've been collecting information about wire harness repair on my website: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...dd-n-ends.html

Take lots of pictures and let us know how it goes.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I'd also confirm you can't still get a NOS one. I got a NOS one for my GS1000 about 10 months ago. At $150.00 not a bad deal when you consider the labor to build one.
