Both are going to most likely be from someone's personal stash. I bought the last steering wheel that Surplus City had 10 years ago. The set of extra wires I have are not all correct, 3 are and one is not but work.

Your best bet is a mix match of M151 and M38A1 wires.

I bought a set of generic wires/plugs to get my Mite running. They were not correct but it started. It was then I found out that my motor was --- well in need of major work. The smoke filled my garage and did not dissipate till I shut it off!! It did not ever quit smoking. IT WAS MORE LIKE A HEMORAGE. Since then I have been working on the motor.

I wish there was a company that would rebuild plug wires. The military water proof wires are not that difficult to test and I think with some ingenuity could be reproduced, after all there are a lot of 24 volt Jeeps as well as Mites out there!!
