I've heard that Sacramento Vintage makes good ones, but I've not tried one. Comments,???

I just installed one from Brattons and was very pleased, but I have nothing to compare it to. It fits correctly and is well made.

I Just installed a Bratton harness with turn signals built in. Very well made, fits perfectly and works perfectly.

Sacramento Vintage I believe is the best. They have a original mechanical looming machine; the 28 harness is even loomed to the stop light switch and clear to the tail light just like the original, the headlights and horn harness is a separate harness, again like the original. They also use the correct color coded wire.

I have not heard of any bad ones.

i had a loom installed from Sacramento last summer. I don't know about the others but this one fit and worked perfectly. Very high quality workmanship. Wayne

Sacramento may make them for Brattons.

I used Bratton's and it was fine.

Jwilli · 04-25-2015, 06:28 AM

One from Snyder's worked for me.

RonC · 04-25-2015, 07:46 AM

Ford...but Brattons is close second

Mikeinnj · 04-25-2015, 10:13 AM

I found Brattons to be the closest to the original. Top Notch !

For FINE point these are the most correct to originals, not only in color code, and loom but also in end fasteners...

My 29 tudor has turn signals with an ugly terminal block and loose (not in a loom) wires under my dash. Would the use of this harness with built in turn signal eliminate this mess?

Larry Jenkins · 04-25-2015, 07:40 PM

Thanks for all the great responses. Sounds like Brattons.

I also wonder if Sacramento makes them for Brattons. I'll ask Tom Jordan from Snyder's who makes theirs..

Major supplier is Bauer Electronics in Bend Oregon.. Owner Chris Olson. They supply Snyders and Brattons. We toured their plant during the Northwest Regional Meet a couple of years ago.

Pgerhardt the harness from Brattons makes the entire installation very neat. It is also available from Berts. You don't have to have any extra wires or terminal blocks. The part of the harness with the blinker module and fuse mounts behind the gas tank onto the screws for the terminal box. It also comes with the hand control ready to mount onto the steering column. It all fit perfectly.
