Currently working on the wiring harness and found a couple wires in desperate need of replacement but they go through this plastic sheathing on the harness. Has anybody replaced wires through this sheathing? Should I just pull the wires out and try and jam them back in? I was also thinking I could just replace the sheathing, because it is 50 years old now, but how would I put new sheathing back on?
Thanks so much Attached thumbnail(s) |

If you really want to do wiring to a high standard, I HIGHLY recommend you spend some time looking at the wiring for @tygaboy LS conversion. I’m sure if you PM Chris, he would have excellent advice for you.
Electrical work is around page 192 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...900&st=3820 The wiring in that project was done to a standard as if it were done by a professional . The use of Deutche connectors, Kapton tape, and Raychem jacketing is the way to go. This will give you solid reliability and modern connection upgrades over the 60’s vintage connectors you’ll find in a 914. |
