I’ve got a salvage wiring loom that I’m going to work up ready to fit on the Burton. The first step is to remove the wrapping to get to the wires.
This is best done with a seam ripper, it will cut the wrapping without damaging the wires themselves.
As the wrapping is removed re-usable cable ties are put at the junctions to keep the loom together whilst still allowing wires to be added and removed.
