* Even a low mileage T-3 has dried, hard wires at the engine end. What to do? (Even if a T-3 has never been driven, it and the wires are over 30 yrs old.) Since Brand New wire harnesses are impossible to find, and dang difficult to install anyhow, what is the routine for, maybe, trimming the exposed ends of the wires to inside the heavy wrappings, then soldering and shrink-wrapping the ends that go to engine contacts? Are we nearing New Car levels by doing this? Then...what about the (usually dried, rotted) rubber covers where the wires plug in to sensors, injectors, etc.? Is there some new high-tech heat/oil resistant stuff to use as make-do wraps? Some kind of tape perhaps? I use narrow bike tire tube cuttings to cover plugs at fuel pump and throttle valve switch but....have to keep an eye on them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
