    No experience, but would be interesting to know how/why theirs is priced less than half of ones produced by others.
    Care to do an experiment, Alberto and share your findings here ?

    Also, they list a harness for Daytona, making me wonder which one of several different factory produced sets its modeled after, if any and how accurately ? RHD vs. LHD ? Euro vs. US ? Early, mid or late production ? Etc...

    I agree Timo, how many versions for the Daytona alone? One size fits all?

    The Alfa Romeo Giulia is less than 400 GBP.
    Let's see if anyone, opines.
    This is their reply to my enquiry:

    "Thank you for your email
    The best way for you to find the right harness for your vehicle is to use our online harness finder - https://www.autosparks.co.uk/finder - it asks you a series of questions and then displays all of the harnesses we have to suit your vehicle.
    A user guide for the finder can be found here - https://www.autosparks.co.uk/finder-user-guide
    Once we have confirmed the required part numbers we will be able to advise what is included and if any modifications are needed to meet your requirements."

    I did, and no reply on a request for 4 wiring looms.

    They do not do telephone calls as of yet.

    Regards, Alberto

    I saw those, but...

    ... how many, along with referenced “others” are based on hands-on/personal experiences after installation to given applications or level of expectations (of good enough) ?

    I’ve installed replacements (+ consulted manufacturers), repaired or built (from scratch) at least 2-3 dozen wiring harnesses for variety of vintage cars over the past few decades and have discovered one for Daytonas being so far most problematic.
    For example and as I’ve mentioned before, I have 4 factory drawn schematics for them, but none are accurate, complete nor matched several different OEM harnesses I’ve encountered in the cars themselves...

    ..., but OTOH, I’ve been known to over-analyze things, perhaps more than I should.

    Timo,
    Went into their website deeper than before, and their manufacturing process looks very high tech.
    I just hope they are not related to the Dino door glass manufacturers!

    Guess I will order one, cheap Alfa Giulia harness and see how it goes.
    If it passes muster, I might venture with the rest.
    I would just like to call and be able to talk to a human, and throw a few pokes, see the reaction.

    Regards, Alberto
