Does anyone know of a good source for a new wiring harness? I see that The Filling Station has them. Are there any other options possibly less expensive? Does anyone here have one for sale?

I used YNZ Yesterdays Parts http://www.ynzyesterdaysparts.com/ for my 35 Standard sedan, and found them helpful and knowledgable. I am unsure if they were cheaper than others or more expensive. Good service.

I used Filling Station's with good success. Everything worked right off the bat. The only thing I had to modify is the horns as I was installing dual trumpet horns.

Hey guys, great info.I think I will go with YNZ. They are a bit less in price and they claim to have all of the correct connectors, the more expensive one says the connectors are iffy. They both seem to have the same wire and cloth/laquer coating. That's what I see from their websites.

I suppose I didn't complete my sentence.  The harness was made for horns with one wire. My horns had two. So the wiring was a bit different than the instructions.

I have replaced a few harnesses in recent years, and I have had the best results with Rhode Island Wiring. All their connections are soldered for long life and are a perfect fit
The last one I done was on a 1930 'Huckster' Wagon that was
fitted with dual horns mounted below the head lights on the
light support bars. I told them about that, and they built the harness accordingly! There was a slight extra charge, but it was well worth it the way it appeared and worked! They have a web-site; I believe it is Rhode Island Wiring.com

The website info for Rhode Island Wiring I gave previously was not correct. the correct info is www.riwire.com. I'm pretty sure their catalogue is available on line!

As Skip noted....there is a correct harness for the dual horns, which was added when these horns were installed. If anyone would like more information about them please let me know.
As to Y&Z's harness, it is not as correct as Rhode Island's harness. I used a Y&Z's in my car but had to buy some parts from Rhode Island to make it look right. The wire from the starter to amp gauge was not correct at all, as an example. If you have any more questions please let me know.
