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) |

You can get bailing wire at lowes/hd. Smaller in diameter than coat hanger and tougher than copper wire. Bend the end over as a hook and tape to the wire. You can't push wire thru but you can pull it easy enough. I've actually broken wire from pulling too hard because it was wrapped around other wires and the friction was too much.
The pins can be staggered to reduce the overall diameter if you are pulling a bunch at a time. Most OEMs don't solder the connectors. It's debatable why, but if Porsche didn't do it then you don't need to. |
