Hi,
I'm Looking for some advice and feedback on the next stage of restoring the cab in my bus which was destroyed in a fire. I have completed the body work restoration and now about to start re-fitting the dash. At the moment the cab consists of the steering wheel only - the original dash was destroyed in the fire and was discarded. I'm left with a bunch of wires coming up into the cab floor which have been cut.
I have tow options here:
1. Source an original dash that has the instrumental panels attached to a wire harness and join it to my existing hardness
2. Install an entirely new harness throughout and source an original dash
3. Install an entirely new harness throughout with a new dash
Not sure if I am asking for trouble by joining a two harnesses, but then I hear the new harnesses are not as good quality and they seem to vary wildly in price from $175 in the States to £300 in the UK.
I'd be interested to hear some alternative suggestions or options I might have overlooked or general advice.
Thanks.
