In addition to 39super8's recommendation there is also Rhode Island Wiringhttp://www.riwire.com/ and Potomac Packards.

I know it's a large outlay but for peace of mind and time & effort spent maybe worth biting the bullet to do it. Seriously doubt you would find a 60 year old used harness that is (or would be) in much better shape than what you have after all the twisting and turning to get an old stiff bundle out of where it is and into the places it has to go.

If you are handy and not trying to be authentic, you could remove your old harness and buy appropriate supplies from one of the companies listed. Each sell proper wire by the foot as well the hard items and terminals. By laying your old one out on a sheet of plywood and securing in the approximate form it needs, it is a fairly simple matter to redo wire by wire. I did this using modern wire for a 53 that was to be a driver only. Downside is you would not be able to have the outer cover braided but would have to use the later harness wrap instead such was done after 55--or buy a modern premade loom covering equivalent such as KevinAZ did on his 55.
