Per, Since the harness is not normally stocked by a distributor, and would therefore be a special-order item, it makes sense to order directly from Sinclair. More information can be found at the Sinclair Web site:
<http://www.sinctech.com/contact.asp?i=17> When you order the harness, be very explicit that you want the longer, low-split version. When I spoke on the phone with a Sinclair engineer at the New York office on Friday, he was not aware that there were two versions! Even some of the sales people don't know about the different harnesses, and simply assume that there is only one model of the Q2330E.
