Talking Re: Rewiring . . . What would you do different?

I'm sorry F.M., but on the "ignore list" you must go. I'm sure you can find someone else to hound. Enjoy.

Re: Rewiring . . . What would you do different?

Mine was the original cloth covered harness. In the end I used modern red, green, white and black wire. I considered fusing individual circuits but the excess wiring held little benefit. Ended up...

Re: Rewiring . . . What would you do different?

Good observation. Granted, they could have just as easily connected at the relay, or the junction/terminal box. Of course that would cost a few extra feet of wire. Multiplied by 4,858,644 (more or...
