Anyone out there have good used versions of the following that you would part with? If not I'll be forced to replace with aftermarket items.

Bumperettes w/brackets
Hubcaps
Grille


All for a bug of course. Also do any of you have a good source for a replacment wiring harness?

Have seen all of the above on eBay reciently,

Grille $ 280 new rechrome, orginal items
Bumperettes $160 new rechrome, orginal items brackets for these Moss has or maybe it is VB.
Hubcaps forget what they were but not expensive to rechrome.

Wiring harness from BCF supporter https://www.britishwiring.com. Used one of their harnesses when I redid the Tunebug wires this past spring. Highly recommended.

I replace the entire harness, which on the Bugeye is the main harness, headlight pigtails, and headlight dip switch harness. I used the PVC wires with cloth harness wrap. Looks pretty original, but has modern wires inside. You can get a pure stock harness, or a cheaper all modern one. I'm very happy with what I got, it all lined up and looks like it belongs.

The folks were very helpful, and also steered me towards the other little oddments and tools I would need (bullet ends, crimping tools, etc). When you're ready, give them a call and they'll take good care of you.

I think it was about $400 with the harness, tools, and a few connectors.

Ben, I've installed 4 or 5 of their harnesses, and can't say enough good things about them. Ed and Lesley are super people to deal with.
If you want the original look, they can supply modern wiring in the harness, with each wire dressed with the original style cloth overbraid.
Nice stuff, all of it.
