Haven't seen it (doesn't mean it isn't there, I just haven't found it yet) but does anybody have a recommendation on obtaining a NOS or replica wiring harness for a mil-spec '72 with the dual fuse boxes? Looking for both sides, the "normal" side and the "super-secret military" side. I've heard elusive & mysterious tales about Bob Nodvik @ Wiring Works, but it doesn't look like he takes requests.

Take a look at this item from The Samba Thing technical section, note the wiring for black out lights, headlight switch, and other Typ 181 military related items.

Yup, I've seen that wiring diagram. The insulation on the harness in my Kubel is getting brittle and stiff, I'd like to rewire it according to the diagram, but don't know where to start in obtaining a NOS or replica harness since the military 181s are kind of a different animal than the civilian versions.
