I recently purchased some Tyree Harris wiring harness items second hand. Can anyone tell me, is most/all of his stuff built for 6V?

call him. He does great work!

In just about every case, wiring doesn't really care about voltage. Wire needs to be sized for the current (amperes) that it will carry. DD

If it is built for 6 volt it will work fine on 12 volt. The 12 volt uses smaller wires and shouldn't be used with a 6 volt system. Try asking him if any of his harnesses were built for 12 volt and how can they be identified if this is important to you, that is to say, if you intend to run 6 volts.

Any wire can handle any voltage. Voltage is rated by insulation and wire size determines amps. I bet that wire insulation is good to 400 volts.
