Re: [Chrysler300] Wiring Harness

I just called and spoke with Greg. A few years ago, I knew he had tried to find someone to come up to his home and take his 30+ template boards that he created to make new harnesses, each custom made to the accessories a particular car was equipped with. And, some of the cars, like his 300-F that Claudio is inquiring about, took 3 harnesses - 1 for the instrument panel, 1 for the engine compartment, and one for the rear of the car. Greg and Sue were selling their home, and had no room to bring the boards with them. Greg said it would have taken a big box truck to have moved these boards..

Unfortunately, Greg said that no one expressed an interest, so he deposited all these templates into dumpsters and they're long gone. Greg went on to say that the biggest obstacle to creating these harnesses had been the cessation of production of the terminals he needed. Back when he started fabricating these harnesses, he bought thousands of terminals, as well as special [expensive] crimper tools required to properly affix these terminals to the harness wires. Having run out of some of the terminals, he was able to source similar, though not exact, terminals manufactured by Delphi in Cleveland. Greg said that once Delphi shuttered its Cleveland plant and moved production down to Mexico, the quality of these substitute terminals worsened - they required much more force to plug the male ends into the female ends and, when trying to unfasten them, these terminal connections would always break. So this really drove him to end his long run of custom fabricating the replacement harnesses we need for our Letter Cars.

I got mine from Greg Leggatt. Not sure if he’s doing them anymore. ggleggatt@xxxxxxxxx
