In the harness listing sheets, Wire refers to the individual wires in the harness and Wrap refers to the outer covering of the harness. For example PB in a listing sheet refers to PVC wire and a Braided outer wrap. Some harnesses are made with a mixture of braided and PVC wire reflecting the original style (see PB B below).
The Wire in a harness will be either Braided (early cars) or PVC (later cars). The braided wire in our harnesses starts with PVC insulated wire which is then braided and lacquered to look like the original. Thus braided wire is more expensive than PVC. Many harnesses are available in both types of wire. The original style is listed first.
If the Wrap is listed as B then the black braid may have one or more colored stripes in the fabric for easier identification as per original factory production. Later cars had harnesses wrapped with PVC tape, usually blue or black. Braid outer wrap is more expensive than PVC tape wrap. Many harnesses are available in both types of outer wrap. The original style is listed first.
