Last I knew they sold or sent their production line to the Carolina's... Willing to bet someone like Kaiser Willys or someone bought them... Meaning good luck getting a good harness.

I bought a harness for a 6 cylinder Willys Wagon, they sent me one for a 4 cylinder, end result was the harness portion that went to the Generator was 12" short and I had to cut it and splice it to fit. This was after returning it twice...

This for a 55 M38a1 that I recently purchased.
The primary lead wire is still good.
I just need the large nut that secures the connector to the distributor.

This is just a backup to what John is saying.
We've all been to everyone's website and seen
what's there.

Be assured most if not all of the vendors including
Midwest Military have tons more stuff than what's
shown in their website. New, old stock, takeoff, and
replacement.

There is no way in Heaven they can take the time to
put every single item in their stock online.

If you are looking for something and don't see it on their
website give them and John a call.

Old fashioned voice conversations do several things,
the very least which is to put you in touch with a human
being.

Establishing relationships and having conversations is
becoming a lost art in today's world.

When dealing with 67 year old equipment
relying on old ways of communication
not only can lead to fruitful searches in most cases
but can result in long term relationships.

These jeeps are disappearing almost as fast as the guys that
built them and drove them for the first time.

Reach out. We all need to hang onto each other as best we can.

Their web site is still up and running. Looks legit to me.

Hi Guys,

Rumors of VWM`s demise are just that. i spoke to a friend today who knows both owners and they are still in business....just busy and a bit hard to get a hold of.

Regards,
Bob

Restomod, Is this the web site you can't open?

http://vintagewiring.com/

It works just fine for me.

This is the contact info on that web site:

I got a response email from them.

Don't know why it bounced the other time.

Relax everyone; I talked to them two weeks ago. And I talked to them at the Cleveland show. Very much alive.
