    Wiring!!!

    Just a picture of my tangled up mess that’s about to come out. It’s an old donor harness that’s been partially dieted.

    It’s one of those projects that’s escalated. I’m one of those that says “ while I’m here let me do this”. It’s turned into a 2 year procrastination project.

    The frustration factor alone makes it worth buying a new harness. Smart move. Trying to navigate through that old harness would drive you nuts.

    I used the supplied FF Ron Francis harness on my Roadster and installed it pretty much as supplied and shortened the runs where required. If I was to do it over again I'd open up the harness and completely remove what's not needed and add what needs to be added, it seems like it would be a daunting task but would make a cleaner install and may prevent you from having to run separate lines beside the RF harness. There are posts from builders with more experience than I who have done this in case you want to look into it further..
