FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

My first thought upon seeing the title of this thread was, "Oh, no! Not another Lebaron Bonney!" Happily, that was not the case:)

They made complete engine and light wiring harnesses for me for a super early '32 RHD V8 phaeton working from copies of Ford engineering drawings that I provided; the results were outstanding in all respects. I highly recommend them.

I know this is an old thread but I had to put another plug in for Rhode Island Wiring. I went there yesterday to see if they had the parts to fix the pillar lights for my '48 Tudor Sedan. Marsha gave me the full tour, and of course reproduced what I needed. I would say they have the capability to reproduce any part of a harness for any car, or the entire harness. They have patterns they've acquired and/or put together over the years, or they will build one from scratch using your original. They can reproduce wires in the original color pattern or a custom pattern/configuration you choose. They have multiple wrapping machines right there. It's an incredible operation. Except for the wrapping (done right there on machines), the assembly is all done by hand. Sadly, not many places like this left.

I agree with these comments. Not the cheapest, but very high quality. The parts I ordered for my F-1 were perfect. And, I had them include turn signals in the harnesses.

They are not the cheapest but they are the best in my opinion.

For general information:

Working with Rhode Island Wiring, I have just finished installing a complete new wiring harness in my 46 coupe. I am very satisfied with the quality of materials they use, their workmanship in making the harness, and their detailed and complete instructions.
In one small area that was not correct for my car, they rebuilt the items, no charge, and paid postage.
I'm posting this for the benefit of those members contemplating the project.
