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) |

One more item of note.
For what ever reason when crimping is referred to, most people immediately think of the cheap red, blue, and yellow hardware store connections and low grade $5.00 crimping tool. These hardware store crimp connectors will work well enough if done well but they are the lowest common denominator type fix that we usually see in the hobby. When I’m referring to crimping, we are taking about quality crimping tools (which can be had for reasonable prices) and quality, properly sized terminals and butt splices. Example of better quality butt splice: Or example of Tygaboys work with open barrel butt connectors: |
