Hello Rob, Thanks a lot for the review of my Harness Prototype. Looking forward to seeing it running on one of your engines soon. Don`t be afraid to bend it in the reinforced area between the main connector and the first branching point. I did several torture tests with the first prototype, and it handled a lot of abuse without issues. And yes, you are correct about the connectors. Only the main connector is 3D printed out of reinforced nylon and converts the harness to a circular shape with a strain relief lip. The EV1 connectors are from Tyco (made in the USA). The yellow cap’s purpose is simply to keep dirt and dust out of the connectors until ready to be plugged in. The other "Beta Tester" reported good results and is very happy with the performance of the engine now. Sale will start in about 3 weeks with 3 sleeving options. DR-25 "race-spec inspired" as shown by you, Green Nomex high temp sleeving for an extra slim and sleek professional look and HFT5000 for a more textured appearance than DR-25. Of course, all components used on the harness including the used TEFZEL wire have a minimum continuous temp rating of 150°C. So you can look forward to decades of trouble free operation. It is designed as a "lifetime" harness. The Price is not final yet, but expect it to match SNG price for a, as mentioned by you, a much superior and fully shielded product.

Looks great the main plug looks solid Good idea with the big heat shrink You would think back then they Would have seal those better Since it the main connecter British Layland cutting corners.
I think the mystery hoses are PCV hoses for the later XJ40/X300 era I6. It looks very similar the the one on my '96 4.0 XJS but my son is out of town with my '95 X300 so I can't be sure.
I was really impressed with Andreas's concept too. One thing that needs mentioning is under that shrink wrap is TEFZEL wire!!! And if you know motorsports wire-jacketing - That is essentially Milspec / Avionics quality jacketing/wire. It won't degrade in the heat /oil like the old PVC (or whatever jacket was on the old OE wires).
Hello, the official sale has not started yet, but I already stock a couple in several sleeving options. Looking forward hearing from you. Gruß aus Zürich Andreas / AE-Engineering@bluewin. ch
Good point. I’m gonna be sticking the harness on a test stand engine in a Tuesday extra in the next couple of weeks and I’ll mention that point.
I like the Mail Call idea. Looks like a good harness!!
A+
Nice! Christmas in October…!

How about "The Parcel Post Mystery Box Show"
Hello, is there any way to buy AE engineering cables, I am from Germany Bavaria and would like one of these.
