Painless Wiring
Hi there,
I have a 67 Splitbus which I'm rebuilding. This is my first rebuild ever, so it's a bit daunting.
I'm considering rewiring the entire bus because my connections are terribly shoddy all over teh place and my thinking is a complete rewire will
add considerable safety and value to the car overall.
That said, the best wiring I've come across is a Painless Universal wiring kit in the States.
Has anyone run these through a VW kombi? Are they compatible?
Thanks in advance!
~Steve

You might find some wires are not long enough with the US harness - they have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side so that moves some of
the wires.
I haven't put them side by side so I don't know for sure, but I'd be wary.
If I remember right the 67 Aussie bus was still 6v and the US buses were 12v so there would be some differences there too - the 12v harnesses have
thinner wires because they carry less amps.

Can anyone give me some information on painless wiring kit. Got on home page had a look but no prices I guess I'd use the T bucket harness.
I'm looking to rewire a manx how much would I be looking at for harness and shipping. Any other suggestions would be great.
Cheers
