Pull it out from the cockpit, and insert it from the cockpit also. The
large rubber grommet only seals one aperture, as I recall there is a second
close to it, watch you don't snag the wrapping and insulation on this, a
length of split cable sheath around the hole helps. On an early car the
harness is probably thin enough to remove and insert quite easily. On a
1980 I found it easier to tape the spurs in the engine compartment to the
main part of the harness, some pointing forwards and some back to make as
even a thickness as possible. If you let them all point forwards you can
end up with a bunch too thick to pull through the hole.
What burned the old harnes? It is often a component that does this, that
will still be on the car, and will burn the new harness unless you find and
fix the original problem first.
