Bob, Once you get started I think that you will find that this project will no
way take a lot of time. Once the prepwork is done. Be sure as you are going
along that you check and rehab all elec equipment. Since you will need take
out the heater box and fan anyway to route the under dash harness take a close
look at it.. In my 73 TR there was a lot of crap in the box and it definitely
needed painting. Make sure the heater core is in good shape, recore if you have
doubts. Also I re-lubed the armature shaft on the fan motor. No more squeal on
start up. That rehab took longer than installing the harness itself. All in all
though the whole project was completed in less than a week. Of course I only
did the cockpit and underhood harness, the rear harness was in good shape. You
will have plenty of time left over for other details. Avoid cutting and
especially avoid soldering of automotive wires. It should not be necessary
with Dans kit.Crimp connections are much less prone to failure than soldered
ones. Get the crimping tool that is available from British Wiring, not cheap at
30.00 or 40.00+ but a real time saver. Also the tool that is designed to push
the bullet connectors into their connections are invaluable. The only wire you
should have to cut is the old stuff to get it out easily. Finally get a tube of
dielectric grease and use a dab on every connection to prevent corrosion.
