So after 16 months of R&D, Manufacturing, And assembly we are thrilled to offer our new North East Classic Autowire 1966-1977 Bronco wire harness!

We based our new harness after the fantastic (and missed) Centech wire harness that is no longer produced. We added 4 additional circuits that were much needed and updated connectors to make it even more plug and play then it was! Fully loomed, the instal time oif this harness is 1/3 that of any other harness available!

How does the differ from the painless? I have a painless sitting NIB on my shelf right now but I like how yours looks.

1969, The painless is completely un-loomed. Not well laid out and has too many circuits. Honestly 3 times the install time..... More of a "universal harness" Kinda made to work in a Bronco IMO.

Fordfan, Your welcome! I was pretty upset when Jim stopped producing the Centech harness. It needed some changes (Which we did) but it was honestly the best harness by far.

We are always working on something new!

I am looking for an alternative to my AAW harness. I am currently running a tilt column, VHX gauge cluster and aftermarket stereo. How much modification would you expect to make the conversion?

Vincen,

-The tilt column would deppend on brand. If you are using our column or any that uses a GM style "flat" connector it would plug right in. Otherwise our harness includes the column side connector so that you can convert the column you have to our plug.

-That gauge cluster would not use the bulb sockets and the bullet connectors that are pre installed on our harness. However, all of the wiring is there so you would simply cut off those connectors and use the wires according to what your cluster needs. Very easy. (This would be no different if using the AAW harness)

-Our harness includes a radio power and memory wire to make installing an aftermarket radio (or any radio) A breeze.

Great! I think it would meet my needs. Thank you for the timely feedback.

Shimmy,

I know my opinion is bias, But, I have installed all harness brands that are (and were) made for the classic Bronco's and there is hands down nothing easier than what we have just produced. High quality and an easy install. Hard to beat....

@Shimmy - I just wrapped up building my Bronco's new harness using a Ron Francis kit I picked up at a good price. The RF install was similar to how a Painless installs. This new harness is what I really wanted but couldn't find anywhere. Trust me, you want this one from Nick...

the other thing i'm wondering is if there's any special things i'll need to do to accomodate my 77. I'm learning more and more how Ford "did it different in 77" :confused:
