Default Looking for a unique part.

I'm converting from a C-4 to an AOD. I need a custom harness for the neutral/reverse wires. Mustangs Plus used to sell this harness, but they discontinued it. They do happen to sell pre-bent lines for an AOD, but they quit selling the wiring harness.

Any ideas who might still sell this harness?

Thanks

I bought my AOD conversion kit from those guys. Two things they don't include are the harness and the lines.

Can you just use something like the MSD weatherproof connectors to make your own connector to attach to the existing through firewall harness? I did that several places and they work great.

Sorry, I know I saw the wiring diagram and figured they might sell the plug. Junkyard time to get the plug. They show how to wire it so that might help. Last time I ran an automatic, I went to Napa and got 5/16" steel lines and bent it myself. A lot easier and cheaper than getting lines that don't go where you want them. Good luck.

You can buy the two 2 conductor firewall plugs at a trailer supply store and pull the trans side of the harness from a salvage yard from an AOD car. I did it And it was easy and it works. You should be able to find a simple diagram showing the two wires for the reverse and the two for the neutral switch.

I bought the AOD pigtail off another forum but you can find them at the jy and I'll see what sites sell them new as they are specific and the pins are in a circle with a locating tab. I snipped my old C4 pigtail to get the harness side, I'll have to look at it but now that it's been mentioned I believe it's the trailer plug type.
Here's the diagram to simply splice your own together, not hard or tricky, this is what I'm doing, pic is from PATC website linked above by andrewmp6:


I'll be sure to take pics when I finish splicing mine.
