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)

Spend some time on YouTube learning how to de-pin connectors
https://youtu.be/Vt_rAIKPlWA?si=2n7Jm-KKKMoxBn8Q The ability to de-pin connectors is a game changer and will allow you to run wiring through Raychem sleeve without worrying about fitting the connectors through. After the wiring is pulled through, re-pin the connectors. 914 connectors are very easy to de-pin vs other more modern connectors. Use of spit convolute and the ability to put it on wiring harnesses without connectors having to be removed is its only redeeming characteristic. |

There's also no need to cut the connectors off at all, you can undo the factory crimp if needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
