Where to find: Wiring jumper bar?

[Mike E.]

A 72 with LS-5 needs a "jumper bar" as part of the underdash wiring harness. Was there ever a part number for this? Is this one of those impossible parts to find? I know I can make one, but am curious about it.
It's part of the TCS system.
Thanks!

Mike, this jumper strip is part of the wiring harness that is over the speedometer, it is part of the TCS system,The part no. is 8905858, maybe Joe L. could tell you if it was ever avaliable, I would not think this part would ever be removed. unless the harness was ever replaced.

This harness is a three wire connector that normally houses a delay relay for the small block cars, but for the LS5 cars it by-passes this relay.

Mike, sorry I don't have a print of it, but the part is just a piece of .032 thick brass cut and formed into two .250 blades that will jumper across the two female terminals to bridge the mate ing female terminals. If you make one, "coin" (smash down) the front edge that enters the female terminal to about .020 (from .032 stock) otherwise it will take a small sledgehammer to make the parts go together.

Bill, might be easier to just make a small jumper harness with two male spads,brought at the local parts store.

Would also work without a problem.
