You can make your harness and send it to a place like vintage wiring of Maine, who will weave the cloth on for you.

You can also buy the old asphalt coated cloth loom from a place like NAPA, or any of the vintage parts stores. The only problem with NAPA is you have to order it a 50 foot roll at a time. It comes in different diameters.

Here are a few part numbers, but your NAPA dealer can find you the other sizes;

3/4" =737106
5/8 = 737105

1/2" 737104
3/8= 737103



If you want to go with radio suppressed, you can buy the woven metal sheath. You have to feed the wires through, then stretch the metal sheath so it tightens onto the wire.

Thank you very much Jordan , found it . Very helpful. Thanks Rob . I love it when my local NAPA store stock some of the parts needed for my restorations . No waiting for a shipment , no shipping fees , no customs no hassle . Here we have a picture of the new disc i just made from the bottom of an old coffee can .... When i pull a trailer train next summer i will be visible all the way to Shilo ! .....

Here is a better view of the disc and rear of the trailer including the “T” sign.

As for the rear socket for the plug of the following trailer in train , of course i headed my friend’s advice and here it is facing sideways . Can’t wait for a road test !
