I would buy a proper reproduction harness from YnZ’s Yesterdays Parts. They cost more than the others but well-worth it and they have excellent customer service. If using aluminum, you will need much larger wire sizes and not really the way to go.

Thank Don. That's really what I was thinking. It's my inclination to go back as close to original as possible.

Would have been copper or tinned copper originally. Aluminum can have a chemical reaction with copper (i.e. copper terminals) resulting in a poor connection.
By the way, the wire size is not much larger. But it could make the harness as a whole a bit too thick.

In AC wiring, the rule of thumb is to always use a gauge larger if using aluminum. Maybe that does not apply to DC but it would seem strange that it doesn’t.
