Hi Frank,

I installed an Advanced Autowire harness in my ?67 TR4A about 5 years ago as 
part of a frame off restoration. It is by far, one of the best decisions I made 
in selecting uprated parts. The wire quality is far superior to a standard 
harness and the supplied bullet connectors are machined brass vs. the stamped 
tin plated stock connectors. The biggest decision I had to make was were to 
install the ?POWER BLOCK? and I ended up installing it in the upper portion of 
the passenger side footwell. 

I had invested in a good bullet crimp tool, wire stripper and one of those 
little special pliers to force the bullet connectors into the connectors.  

If you go to my website and navigate to the Electrical page, you will be able 
to see how I installed it.

If you have a basic understanding of electrical schematics, you should have no 
problems.

buy a new one.

old wire is the source of constant exploration of faults and source of 
devastating fire.

i recommend british wire as they can add additional wires in your loom for 
things like the cigar lighter and electric radiator fan.

Ok so the other project, besides getting the ?3 going is the body replacement 
on the spsitsix.  I have started to move over, and refurbish, components.  I am 
looking at the wiring harness and I am wondering, should I pull and reuse the 
old one OR put out the cash and get a new harness?  Generalized thoughts? 
Opinions?  Experiences? Suppliers?    

 

Regards

David
