Evening all,

I had put my '59 up for sale, but... I'm having serious doubts. It is a very solid early car, but whoever did the conversion from 6v to 12 v I think has made a mess of it IMO.
So I have been looking at the replacement looms from VW Heritage or (From youtube) a supplier called Rebel... or any other looms that people have used?

Any recommendations/pit falls would be appreciated....youtube does seem to have a wealth of information as ever but feedback from people that have actually done it on an Aussie car would be helpful.

Thanks.

Lewis

I have always used origional looms when you could get them out of wrecks
Have not had any experience with after market looms

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
