[MV] MB/GPW wiring

I'm at the point in the restoration of my '43 GPW where I need to purchase a
wiring
harness. After doing a little research, I have found several options.
I've seen the harness offered by Precision Wiring on a fellow MVer's
MB and it looks pretty
good to me. However, several other companies offer "complete" harnesses,
such as Surplus City, Beachwood, and Nelson's Surplus (a business
advertised in Supply Line.) I know that Precision makes their own, and I
suppose it's possible that the other three companies obtain their
harnesses from the same outside supplier, in effect giving me only two
options. Price is another
concern. Some of the other businesses sell "complete" kits, with all
connectors and junction blocks. Precision
sells the junction blocks separate, making their total price higher by
$20-30.
My question is, in the experience of the group, which wiring harness is
closest in appearance to original?
Thanks,
Mike Meister
