REPEAT: Harness pieces (radio) (still) needed

[rfkellner at snet.net (RICHARD F KELLNER)]

Jim, unfortunately I do not have any extra connectors however; I may be able to offer an additional source.  The A2 Jetta (at least the 91) has the same brown and black connections.  There are far more Jettas out there than Sciroccos so when you can find a compatible component you stand a better chance of locating it.

I have a radio that I swap out between my 87 Scirocco and the 91 Jetta when the Jetta becomes the winter car.

Rick.

had the connectors cut off from a previous radio install, but I'm sure there
are a few unmolested ones out there. Thanks.
