I have some original wiring harnesses here.
These appear to be laced with regular package twine
that has been impregnated with wax.
It looks like hemp, but not as coarse.
I've seen similar twine, minus the wax,
at the local WalMart.
Does anyone else on the lists
have an original harness,
who might know better than I
what material makes up these cords?
