Long story but today I drove 2.5 hours from home to pick up a gift from a lady I never met. Her father's bike, a 66 6TA. She thought that he and I would have gotten along. I have no words to adequately express my gratitude for this.



I have a 66 6TA that doesn't have the proper front end on it




so my idea is to take what's missing from my bike off the new bike and make a complete Thunderbird. Unsure how far I'm going to go with it, seems there's more than one path forward from here. BTW her dad's bike came with a title. Yay.

I know I need a wiring harness, among other things. Can you all point me towards a reliable resource for replacement parts, please?
Thanks.

Full story & more pics in my Boredom Chronicles thread in the Rod & Tappet, if anyone's interested.

'66 was the LAST year. They are rather rare, and some parts are one-year-only, so you are a very lucky guy.

I have only seen two of them for real, but both were Grenadier red and Alaska White.

Nice, Tom. Sacrilege I'm sure but I cant help seeing the start of a race bike or dirt bike. Maybe because my favorite bikes began as something that looked like this one. I'm sure you'll do it justice!

Ace classics probably have much of what you need, but uk based
