I'm having some trouble sourcing a harness for a 1943 Taylorcraft L-2A. Apparently the shop in Dallas can't help us. Does anyone have a "lead" (lol) on who I should be calling?

If you are talking just spark plug leads, they aren’t hard to fabricate.

Do you have a shielded or un-shielded harness?
That info may help to give an informed response.

I think it was unshielded. I’m hoping to get pics later today.

Touchdown! Greaser!
Do a search for the ignition harness for the engine, not the airframe.

Yeah, I guess I’m pretty stupid for wording it that way.

Assuming it's a Continental A-65-8, you still need to know what mags you have if you want to stay with the same kind of harness.
If... it's an unshielded mags and harness, you can convert to a shielded one with different mags, harness and plugs.
Example, my Champ has Eisemann mags and an un-shielded harness and plugs, I could convert to new Slicks, harness and plugs, all it takes is money.

I gave them all that info, as did my mechanic the first time. Thankfully some more helpful posters on another forum have helped me find a good “lead.”
