Re: [T3] wiring

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I rewired my 73 Square during a complete rebuild.  Not only was the wiring
part the most enjoyable aspect, it has also proved very helpful.  I now have
clear picture in my head of what the wiring looks like. And it's no rat's
nest!  I am able to quickly make repairs and additions to the system.

I purchased a rear wiring harness from Wiring Works somewhere in California.
I also found helpful color wiring diagrams on some Type 2 website (can't
recall the address).

My advice:  DO IT!
ONE CIRCUIT AT A TIME!
GET SOME NICE WIRING CUTTERS/CRIMPERS
....A BUNCH OF NICE NEW CONNECTIONS
....RUBBER SHRINK TUBING AND SMALL ZIP STRIPS MAKE IT CLEAN
....LIGHTS ARE COOL!

Cheers,
Nate Peterson
73 Square
