Default Wiring Harness

Has anyone used Autosparks in the UK for a wiring harness. What is the quality like. I need one for an Arnolt Bristol and they are significantly cheaper than Rhode Island Wiring.

I used The Wiring Harness Company having looked at Autosparks. Their loom was of good quality and well finished. However it's worth pointing out that these looms tend to be a bit generic, so you may find that there will be additional circuits, or the odd one no quite correct. A competent auto electricain should fine this easy.

Default Wiring Loom

I use the loom from Autosparcs and it was fine. I think there were one or two redundant circuits and one error where the colours in one pair of wires were reversed to my puzzlement. A big tip is that the people who originally fitted these looms tell me they are designed with adequate extra cable length so that you can pull the dashboard out onto your lap rather than trying to crawl about upside down underneath it.

Default harness

I have used them for a Bristol i am rebuilding the quality seems very good and the price was very keen

they have the layouts for the models and can add extra's in my case they have modified to an alternator rather than the orginal dynamo

they also delivered on time

hope this helps
