FINALLY…almost. I would have finished reworking the wiring harness yesterday if I had about 10 more feet of Tessa tape.
For those that haven’t started reworking their harness yet, don’t be intimidated. The videos make it manageable and the forum is good for answering questions. I do recommend the following items:
Tessa tape 3 rolls - much easier to work with, looks better too. Easier to unwrap than cut if you need though.
Good solder iron and solder. Have plenty of solder. I ran out just before extending the throttle wires.
Heat gun for heat shrink tubing. Safer than lighter and works great.
Copper splice rings. Electricians often use them to tie multiple ground wires together so look for these in your local hardware store. It’s hard to properly solder large wires so these are helpful.
Plenty of heat shrink tubing. You will use a lot.
I used these to label wires during disassembly and kept them on through combing harnesses. They zip tie on. I left them somewhat loose so I could cut the connectors out where needed then thread a wire through before tying in a knot. Found on Amazon. One bag was plenty. Shown is what I have left over.
