Wiring harness M38a1

Post by bpenkala »

Does anyone know what length of wire I would need to make a complete wiring harness for an M38a1? What are the specifications for wire? I know I need 14 AWG and have found sources for mil grade wire and connectors, but there are different specs for wire.

Thanks,

Brad

Check out my M38A1 harness in the for sale section. It is a hard to beat price.
