Surely that would be the late Greg from Seven Hills. As our club librarian would tell you, there is a difference between Craig and Greg - except to Americans.
Hi from Australia
the 69 D harnesses were particularly bad the plastic insulation used during that period being of very poor quality possibly due to cost cutting.
I hope this help please send some pictures of your 69 restoration
Cheers

that helps a lot. I can get a loom over here in UK but around £500 which seems a lot - will give Christian a try.
Someone else told be the insulation around 69 was not good - mine has rotted away badly. Have some rust to sort out , clutch to change, needs new tyres, carpets etc but pretty solid and engine is superb. Also love the old dash on the 69's
will upload some pics
cheers again
I found that the insulation wasn't plastic, but rather a rubber-like coating that just simply dried out. I still suspect that this wire came from some East Bloc country, and yah- it was bad quality stuff. I think the thinking went that the cars were just throw-away appliances at the end of their working life. Nobody ever suspected that tens of thousands of them would make it to today.
Spot on Hotrodelectric you’re absolutely correct definitely feels like a rubber type material, just wondering how many years did Citroen use this crappy wiring.
Make over completed didn't turn out too badly photo taken with iphone and not paying justice also the car needs a good clean up
will take more picture with descent camera later on
