Ian, If you intend to go through with a 2nd Gen swap I strongly recommend you try converting the harness yourself.. It would be nice to have another person to be successful doing a harness so when the next 2ng gen swapper asks you a question about wiring who dont have the cash to send to someone else.. you wont become dumbfounded and lost because you had someone else do your harness.

The more people with information the better and IMO it will be much better for this community in the long run.. and I stand by my statement that if I had a 2nd gen swap I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself. I would love to become the next "brain" of converting harnesses. A little heads up.. people with the "I can never do this" "too hard" mentality usually fail. I think the goal here should be to make swaps easier for the next person. So thats whats I think.. but do what ever is in your best interest.
