[Roadsters] Replacement Wiring?

[dave]

"Fry's Electric"....I like that :)  Original harnesses pop up on Ebay, Might
be worth getting one, then rebuild and upgrade that one on the bench and
swap into the car as an assembly.  Wire color coding could be done right at
the connectors.  Use a white wire or a white wire label, magic markers to
mark the factory color for an inch or two, and then cover with clear shrink
to protect the markings.  You can use a split poly harness to protect the
harness where it's exposed. Adding a 30 amp Maxi-Fuse  before the ammeter
can save a lot of the harness, and isolating heavy loads, like the headlamps
and especially fog/driving lamps, with a relay triggered from the OE wiring
will give brighter lights and much less amperage in the switch and in the
dashboard harness.  Victoria British/LMC Truck sells one a plug in headlamp
relay kit for about $25.00, just have to cut off the ugly yellow wire loom.


Dean, and possibly others, sell the OEM matching plastic plugs and brass
terminals as a kit, if you have the right crimper for the double crimp
terminals, they go on great.

If you want to be super thorough, tin the wires before crimping, then a
quick touch of the soldering iron after the crimp will make a perfect
connection.  Add 1/2 " of clear heat-shrink, click into the plastic shells
and you are good forever.
