On the BJ8 I assemble the dash as much as possible, mounting instruments,
etc. into place, then mount the whole assembly into place. Then I lie flat
out on my back with my head in the foot well, with good lighting at hand and
install the wiring to the various components from there. This is all done
before the steering wheel or console assembly are in place. You're going to
have to get up in there anyway to feed the primary choke cable and other
controls thrugh the bulkhead once the dash is in place
The exception to this is the switch panel assembly. I mount all the wires to
the 4 toggle switches and the ignition switch, then mount them into their
apertures from behind.
