Does anyone have any insight on this wiring harness for a 58 T2 coupe from KABELKONFEKTION WOCHESLANDER? Are they any good? They are a lot less in price than Y&Z.

Re: Wiring harness for 58 T2 coupe
Quality is good, very functional. For a "show car" go with YnZ's...and I've heard good things about a Rhode Island outfit making 356 wiring, but I have had no issues with the Wocheslander harnesses I've installed. Hope this helps.

Bruce, by that do you mean that the YnZ harness wires are all color coded like the original harness, and the Wocheslander harness does not have the "correct" colors?Bruce Baker wrote:For a "show car" go with YnZ's.

Re: Wiring harness for 58 T2 coupe
I have purchased and just recently installed a complete 356A T2 wiring harness from Wocheslander. The wires are color correct, all ends are soldered with connectors where applicable, enclosed instructions/schematics are helpful and useful. I believe the only difference is that the wire gauge is metric which results in a very small reduction in wire diameter and this is not a concern. They correspond in English and shipping is incredibly fast. I have no affiliation, just a very satisfied customer.

Re: Wiring harness for 58 T2 coupe
Barry, your question to me was answered by Alan. The Wocheslander wiring is very good and functionally competitive, but the 'look' is that it is thinner and less 'gesund' especially for a 6 volt system. It's a minor issue to anyone other than a hard-core owner/restorer where 'the look' is all-important.Barry Brisco wrote:Bruce, by that do you mean that the YnZ harness wires are all color coded like the original harness, and the Wocheslander harness does not have the "correct" colors?Bruce Baker wrote:For a "show car" go with YnZ's.

One of my '53 Coupes 'back in the day' was rewired by a friend's older brother, an electrical engineer, as a 'favor.'
Each beautifully placed wire was..... green........
