[Healeys] Traffiator install woes

[FGary Springer]

This worked for me:  I applied shrink-tubing over the entire length of the harness. This took care of the frayed/missing cloth. Next, I stripped the coating from a length of #12 copper wire that exceeded the length of the stator tube. I then ran this wire with a very heavy fishing line taped to the end up the tube. I then removed line from the wire and pulled copper wire out of the tube. Next, I attached the fish line to the wiring harness and applied talcum powder to the entire length of the harness before pulling it through the tube.  Worked flawlessly for me. (‘62 BT7)

I ended up cutting off the metal connectors on most of the wires, leaving one to use to attach the string.  Fairly easy to replace the tips at the front of the steering box if the grill is out of the car.

> Well "assembly is the reverse of disassembly" right?  Managed to remove the wiring harness in the manner I have done times before.  That is, attaching a string to the har before pulling it up through the stator tube.  Problem is cannot get har back down through the tube.  After numerous attempts the string broke.  Does not help that the cloth insulation is deteriorated and missing on about the last foot of the har.
